Roof Maintenance Tips for Monsoon Season by London Platform Roofing

Get Your Roof Ready for Monsoon Season!

As we head into the wetter months here in Arizona, it's important to make sure our homes are ready to weather the storm—literally. One of the most important parts of your home to maintain during monsoon season is your roof. A little bit of preventative maintenance now can save you a lot of headaches (and money) down the road. Here are some tips to help you get your roof ready for whatever Mother Nature throws your way.

1. Inspect your roof regularly. Look for cracked, missing, or damaged shingles, as well as any other signs of wear and tear. It's a good idea to do a thorough inspection at least once a year, but you should also keep an eye out for any problems in between annual inspections. If you notice something wrong, don't hesitate to call a professional for help.

2. Keep your gutters clean. Clogged gutters can cause all sorts of problems, including water damage to your roof. So be sure to clean them out regularly, especially during monsoon season when they're likely to get clogged more often. You can do this yourself or hire a professional gutter cleaning service. Either way, it's worth it to keep your gutters clean and clear.

3. Trim trees and bushes near your home. Overhanging branches can damage your roof during a storm, so it's best to trim them back before monsoon season hits. If you have any trees or bushes near your home, take a look at them before the rainy season starts and trim back any branches that could potentially cause damage. Again, you can do this yourself or hire a professional tree service company.

Conclusion:

Monsoon season is just around the corner, so now is the time to start thinking about roof maintenance. By following these simple tips, you can help ensure that your roof stays in good condition all season long. Regular inspections, clean gutters, and trimmed trees will go a long way in protecting your roof from the elements—and saving you money on repairs down the road!
