Summer roof maintenance is a pretty important job. While ensuring that your roof stays in good order and that there isn’t much relevant damage that you have to address, it also ensures that your roof can be kept clean and clear of mold, debris, pests and anything else that could threaten its overall integrity.

One of the things you need to do during the summer is to make sure that your roof is protected from the elements, from stray branches falling on it and from pests that want to turn your roof into their homes and nests. Removing squirrels and bird nests humanely and making sure that none of the wooden elements contain termites are only part of the issues. You’ll also have to cut nearby branches to prevent them from falling on top of your roof, check for existing damage and hose down your roof if it’s too dirty.

Hosing down your roof also acts to detect leaks. If you allow a small amount of water to flow from the top of your roof down to the gutter system and you don’t notice any of it making it to your attic, then it means your roof is doing its job properly. However, to be on the safe side, it’s still a good idea to hire TSV Construction and Roofing for a detailed roof inspection especially right before the rainy season in your area is set to start.
