After fixing shingles or tiles, you have to maintain and clean them on a regular basis. If you want to increase the lifespan of your roof then you must follow a few simple steps.
Check the roofs regularly
If you are located in an area where heavy rainfall is common then you have to check the condition of your roof at least once a month. This will allow you to know whether there are any cracks in your roofing or other damage. If there are cracks then ensure that they are repaired as soon as possible.
Clean the roofs
Ensure that your roofs are clean and clear of any obstructions. By cleaning your roofs once in a week, you can increase the durability. Use a brush and water to remove moss and debris which are present on the roof. If there are trees near your home then cut the branches which are too close to your roof. This is very important because tree branches can damage your roof tiles.
Allow ventilation
While regular inspection, you have to ensure that the attic space is properly ventilated. This will help you to stop the formation of moisture and growth of moss.
If your roof tiles are damaged due to rain or wind then it is recommended to buy new tiles. Today, you can find different types of tiles which vary on the basis of size, shape and colour. So, you can buy the one that suits your needs.
