3 Surprising Dangers To Your Roof
Taking care of a roof can be a big job! There are so many things to remember, and so many things that can damage it. There are a few things that homeowners may not know about that can damage their roof and roof coating. Here are three of the most surprising from your friends at Shingle Magic:
1. Not cleaning your gutters regularly can cause water to back up and flow under the shingles, leading to roof damage.
As much as you may want to ignore them, you will have to clean them eventually if you want to avoid costly repairs. Consider calling a professional if you do not want to run the risk of injury or damage.
2. Using a pressure washer to clean your roof can actually remove the protective coating and damage the shingles.
It may seem counterintuitive, but the highly pressurized water can actually remove the protective granules and coating on your shingles, so check the manual! When in doubt, call a professional.
3. Walking on your roof can damage the shingles and create leaks.
As with the other points on this list, our best advice is to call a professional, preferably one the at is licensed and insured.
