Why Should You Clean Your Roof and Gutters During Spring?

Cleaning roofs and gutters is a spring tradition. But any time of the year is a good time to rid your home’s exterior of trapped debris. However, there are practical reasons why you should make it a habit to do this chore every spring.

Today, Sunco Window Cleaning explains the biggest advantages of tackling gutter and roof cleaning once spring rolls around:

Wind Sends Debris to Your Roof All the Time

If you didn’t clean your roof and gutters before winter, you shouldn’t procrastinate until summer. Take advantage of spring’s better weather to get harmful debris safely and efficiently removed.

Clogs render gutters and downspouts ineffective. When rain comes, a clogged gutter system may cause the water to overflow and damage your foundations, landscaping and siding.

Furthermore, dead foliage decomposes and can expose your roof to constant moisture. Even worse, fallen leaves might create the conditions for weed growth.

Signs Are Damage Aren’t Always Visible From the Ground

For Sunco Window Cleaning, roof and gutter cleaning is an opportunity to spot red flags that otherwise can’t be seen from the street.

Sometimes, it’s imperative to get a closer look at your roofing and gutter systems to identify any cause for concern. The sooner problems are uncovered, the sooner they can be addressed quickly.

Moss Must Be Dealt With as Early as Possible

If trees taller than your roof surround your house, the shaded areas can set the stage for moss proliferation. Moss is bad news because it acts like a sponge and holds moisture for an extended period, which may compromise the structural integrity of construction materials.

A mossy roof needs professional attention more often than not. Just like window cleaning, moss removal shouldn’t be DIYed, for this task involves working at great heights and specialized tools.
