The attention of home maintenance often gets directed to more overlooked areas, such as the roof and gutters, as the bright, vibrant colors of autumn start to settle in. Yet, with the potential for winter weather fast approaching and with the rain, wind, and leaves of the fall already here, it’s crucial to give our roofing systems a good look and ensure that they’re in tip-top shape.
Look for Signs of Broken Shingles
First, and this might sound like a no-brainer, but look for any missing or broken shingles—you’d be surprised how many there are on some people’s roofs after they’ve had a good look-see. If you think you might be working on a roof that’s in better shape than you think, you might be mistaken; look for signs of age around the flashing and the vents, where water can easily find its way into your house if these areas aren’t sealed up and properly working.
Check On Your Home’s Gutters
Remember to take care of your gutters! They can very easily be forgotten, but they are very important. Over the winter, a lot of water may come off your roof and need to be directed away from your house to avoid serious damage to your roof and even your foundation. Inspect and clean your gutters, and ensure reliable drainage.
