Spring Cleaning: The Roof Checklist

It's easy to overlook the most crucial aspects of maintaining your home when you're so eager to harvest or plant your garden or simply leave the home in the springtime. It's not easy but it'll be satisfying when the weather changes or your roof is adjusted to accommodate seasonal changes.

Here are some simple places to start your home maintenance, both outdoors and indoors. It's a good idea to have someone help you with minor repairs or call an expert if you need to.

Within

While the roof might appear visible from the outside but it's designed to safeguard what's inside. This checklist will ensure the damage isn't overlooked. Always seek out a professional when you discover something outside the control of your own. This can help limit any further harm.

It is important to check for mold or mildew. There could be the presence of stains or a sour smell within your attic. There could be a strange odor or like stains on the surface of your attic or a general smell. It could indicate an issue in the ventilation system of your home.

Check your ceilings. The water that has entered your home's ceiling will eventually fall to the ground. Signs of trouble include stains, smells, and ceilings that are sagging.

Outside

These issues are common and should be taken care of by an expert. If you're planning to go yourself ensure you have safety gear and assistance.

Check the connections of your eavestrough. They may fall if they aren't connected to the roof.

Trees that cause issues should be cut. Cut any tree that is in contact with the walls, roof, or the eavestroughing. Even tiny snags could pose an issue for your exterior particularly in the case of windy weather.

Examine your shingles' condition. This is a big job and requires professional roofing Mississauga maintenance. It could be time for an upgrade if yours looks worse. Consult a professional if you're dealing with tiny areas.
