Ultimate Spring Cleaning Checklist For Your Roof

Home|Archives forRoofing
roof damage

When it comes to spring cleaning, many homeowners only think about deep cleaning the interior of their homes. Cleaning and inspecting your roof should be part of your spring cleaning checklist. Whether you do some work on your own or hire a roofing company, getting repairs made or helping your home stay healthy will improve your roof. Clean and sturdy roofs help protect you and keep harsh weather out of your home. 

Lifetime Roofing offers roofing replacement and repair services that can elevate your spring cleaning checklist. Our team can help repair leaks and improve your roofing material to set you up for success this spring. 

1- Clear Off Debris

Through the fall and winter months, debris can build up on your roof from different weather conditions and lead to damage or mold growth. Adding the removal of debris to your spring cleaning to-do list will limit the money you need to spend on repairs down the road or prevent deterioration that could lead to leaks or animals inside your home. 

2- Examine For Loose Materials

During the winter, snow, and rain can cause damage to shingles or other roof materials. Curling, separation, and complete removal of the roofing materials can happen during the harsh cold winter and will need to be remedied moving into the spring. 

Lifetime Roofing can help inspect your roof and give you an estimate for roofing repair as part of spring cleaning. Fixing your roof as soon as possible will make your home safer and improve your curb appeal. Scheduling a roof repair as soon as the weather starts to warm will help regulate your home temperature during the spring and summer. 

3- Check And Clean Your Chimney

One of the common places that get neglected in homes is the chimney. Cleaning the chimney of debris and build-up will prevent fires and strong odors in your home as the weather warms. Cleaning all parts of the chimney will help improve your air quality and will help it stay clean until it is needed again. 

4- Clean Out Your Gutters

Your gutters help to move moisture away from your roof and foundation. Gutters become clogged easily or can become detached which leads to leaking or mold growth across your home. Gutters need to be maintained and cleaned at least twice a year to work properly, especially if you live in a place with lots of snow or rain. Adding gutter cleaning to your spring cleaning list can help set you up for less maintenance during the summer and fall. 

For older homes, your gutters may need to be replaced in order to best serve your home. Gutters help to keep your home healthy, extend the lifespan of your roof and can make sure your home material doesn’t deteriorate too quickly. If you notice gaping between your gutters and your roof, you need to replace them. If downspouts are not connected or the slope of your gutters has leveled out, contacting a professional can help improve the pooling water around your home. 

5- Repair Leaks

If you have found leaks in your home once the snow starts to melt, repairing them as soon as possible will save you frustration and money in home repairs. Letting water leak into your home can damage flooring, insulation, and roofing materials. Replacing multiple parts of your home can add up and lead to massive costs. 

Repairing leaks can be done by our company at Lifetime Roofing. We work efficiently and quickly to make sure your roof protects your family and pets inside your home. Letting us repair your leaks as soon as you notice them can limit roof collapse or other damage that can escalate to major deterioration.

Protect Your Roof During The Winter
De-ice your roof

With the freezing weather and snowy conditions in Utah, keeping your roof in good condition will require a little bit of extra work. Snow and ice can cause holes, scratches, and dents, and even lead to roof collapse. It is important to de-ice your roof as soon as possible to protect your roofing material and your gutters. Lifetime Roofing wants to share some tips on how to de-ice your roof for this winter and in the future. The sooner you de-ice your roof, the safer your home will be. 

1- Use A Snow Rake

Many tools exist on the market to help homeowners remove snow from their roofs safely. A roof snow rake can help you move the snow down your roof without having to climb on a ladder. Roof rakes often extend multiple feet to help you reach higher parts of your home easily. Even just grabbing the snow and moving it off the bottom of your roof will help the remaining snow to slide down to where you can reach it. 

2- Chip Away At The Ice Using An Ice Pick

If your home has an ice dam after a storm, using an ice pick will help to break up build-up inside smaller areas or inside the gutters. Using an ice pick to de-ice your roof requires extra care and precision though in order to prevent further damage to your roof or harm to yourself. 

3- Apply Ice Melting Products

Similar to melting snow on walkways and driveways, homeowners or business owners can use ice melting products to melt the ice and turn it into a liquid. Using these ice melters will help to de-ice your roof in a much safer way than climbing around your roof. Sprinkle the product evenly over the affected area. 

Maintaining your roof will also require you to limit the number of chemicals that you apply to your roof materials. Using de-icers can lead to mature deterioration of roofing materials.

4- Fan The Attic Area

Improper attic ventilation can lead to ice build-up. Ice dams can start leaks inside your roof and will need to be stopped before too much moisture gets into common places in your home. Placing a fan in your attic will help direct the water toward your gutters. Make sure that the fan is pointed directly at the ice dams before turning it on. 

5- Spray Warm Water Directly On The Ice

This tip is only a temporary solution for ice dams but can help melt large quantities of ice. Put warm water in a spray bottle and spray it directly on the ice until it melts. Melting the ice dams will help to run off into your gutter correctly. Use hot water carefully to prevent injury and unnecessary burns. 

6- Install A Heat Cable

Applying a heat cable will need to be done during better weather to help melt the ice and snow as it falls. Heat cables can be attached directly to your roofing material or around solar panels and can be turned on without even leaving your home to face the outside winter conditions. Heat cables can be turned on electronically and start draining the moisture from your roof in a matter of minutes.

Roofing on all homes must last through many different types of weather and usage. Protecting your roof starts with knowing how to maintain the material, prevent mold growth, and understand how other roofing components can extend the lifespan of your roof. Lifetime Roofing wants to guide our clients on how to protect their roofs from damage best. With our maintenance services, roofing repair, and other resources on our website, all homeowners can have peace of mind about the safety of their homes. 

Tips For Metal Roofs

Different roofing materials will require different maintenance techniques and experience different problems. For metal roofs, you can deal with rust, improper insulation, holes, and deterioration. Further in this guide are ideas that can help maintain all different materials of roofing.

Metal roofs are prone to corrosion, scratching, and denting, more than traditional roofing materials. When you perform proper maintenance and checkups on your metal roof, you can help the roof look pristine and help stop leaks. Regular maintenance can help stop problems from becoming bigger or a whole system failure. Metal roofs are chosen because of their long life, but if they are not properly taken care of, you may lose the long lifespan of your roof.

Tips For Asphalt Roofs

Regular cleaning is essential for all roofs, but asphalt roofs can benefit greatly from removing debris, sticks, and other build-ups. Asphalt shingles may have leaves, dirt, or even bird nests shoved under them that can start to develop mold growth and cause cracks, holes, or other deterioration in your roof. Some homeowners utilize metal meshed grates to limit the amount of cleanup that is needed constantly.

Take Care Of Your Gutters

Extend the lifespan of your roof

While the gutters are not located directly on your roof, they play an important role in protecting it from damage and extending the lifespan of your roof. Gutters help water flow away from your home and prevent ice dams from occurring. When your gutter is full of twigs, leaves, or dirt, standing water occurs and sits on your roof. This causes ice dams in the winter and excess moisture sitting on your roofing material will lead to mold growth. 

Trim Surrounding Trees

If you are seeing a surplus of tree branches on your roof and in your gutters, it may be time to trim the trees around your property. Trimming back trees not only helps keep your gutters clear, but it can also protect old limbs or the entire tree from falling on your home. Preventing major roof damage and extending the lifespan of your roof can be prevented by regular tree trimming. 

Prevent Ice Dams

During the winter months in climates that receive a lot of moisture, ice dams are a common problem that can cause damage to your roofs. Ice dams can lead to your gutters detaching from the roof, cracking in roofing materials, and leaks inside your home.

Preventing ice dams and extending the lifespan of your roof starts with having clean gutters, properly removing snow from your roof, and ensuring your gutters are at the right slope to help move moisture off your roof. 

Avoid Pressure Washing Shingles

Pressure washing your home can help it have a new life and make materials last longer. While most areas of your home can benefit from pressure washing, avoiding this type of washing on shingles can help extend the lifespan of your roof. Pressure washing can loosen parts of the shingles or remove their protective coating. Doing so may void your warranty or cause your shingles to deteriorate faster than normal. 

Shingles can be cleaned using a leaf blower or a broom to get stubborn debris and dirt off of your roof.

Fortify The Roof

Your home’s exterior is constantly exposed to the elements and natural disasters. If you want your roof to stay intact through hurricanes, tornados, high winds, and major storms, you will need to fortify it. Spending a little extra money to firmly secure your roof with nails, ribbing, and metal flashing will help extend the lifespan of your roof. 

Upgrade Your Roof With Lifetime Roofing

Having a safe and comfortable place to live requires a roof over your head. Lifetime Roofing is proud to provide a variety of services for residential and commercial spaces.
