The roofing repair industry can be quite complex. As one of the most important elements to a home, the roof is a fairly high maintenance structure. High maintenance doesn’t have to be expensive, but it does mean that it is time-consuming. Regardless of whether you own a residential home, the challenges associated with keeping it in good repair can be easily diverted if a little time and effort are involved.
Residential Roofs
The roof of a home is straightforward in terms of its needs, to be kept in good repair to protect the interior of the home. Most homes comes with slopes greater than 30 degrees, making them a high slope roof. These higher slopes also mean deeper valleys and varying points of lines and angles. Although not inherently problematic, steeper slopes face challenges with debris buildup along its crevasses and valleys.
When leaves, general debris or pests infiltrate a steep slope roof, what is left behind tends to accumulate in the cracks and lines. Anytime a foreign, or non-roof, material that accumulates is an increased risk of damage to the materials. Leaves and pine needles can compromise drainage and stain the materials, whereas sticks and pine cones can cause gashes and weak spots. Pest products are also destructive, especially waste products that can also be toxic.
