Roof Longevity - Why Regular Maintenance Is So Important For a New Roof!

Cedar Park, United States - November 21, 2022 / Top Dog Roofing /

A quality roofing installation done by professional roofers comes with a decades-long life expectancy according to the type and quality of the product.

Whether the life expectancy of that roof is 25, 50 years or even more, roof companies play an essential role in their customers actually reaching that point.

The longevity of any roof is affected by two critical things, namely a correct installation by a roofing service and the owner then providing regular maintenance.

Before skipping over required maintenance, homeowners should consider these reasons why it is key to the longevity of their roof.

1. A Clean Roof Will Last Longer

The simplest of all maintenance tasks performed by roof companies can make the biggest difference in the longevity of a roof.

As moss, algae, mold, and other microorganisms can slowly destroy a roof over years, shortening its lifespan by decomposing the roofing material and keeping the roof free of these organisms is paramount.

Additionally, leaves should be cleaned off the installation by a roofing service whenever necessary to prevent them from rotting on the roof and adding to this slow decomposition.

2. Poor Drainage and Ventilation Can Destroy A Roof

Bi-annual gutter cleaning by roofers in the spring and fall will reduce water damage that happens when the roof edges become submerged in flooded gutters.

This and other drainage issues like water ponding on flat roofs can create problems that speed up the aging process and reduce materials longevity.

Similarly, homeowners should have a roof company do a periodic ventilation check, as a lack of adequate attic ventilation can lead to curling, buckling, and blistering of shingles that will destroy the water tightness of the roof and allow leaking.

3. Regular Maintenance Monitors Age-Related Problems

By providing routine maintenance including regular inspections by an experienced contractor, it is possible to monitor the aging of the roof and make corrections where required.

Roofing services will be watching for loose flashing and poor seals around protrusions, evidence of UV damage, shingle or panel overall condition, evidence of leaks that should be repaired, and any other potential issue that could reduce the longevity of the installation.

4. Unnoticed Storm Damage Can Reduce Longevity

Storm damage inspections are an often overlooked part of good roof maintenance.

There is more to these inspections than a quick visual from the ground.

It is worthwhile for homeowners to hire a roofer to do a post-storm inspection to look for problems such as hail damage, loosened shingles, missing flashing, impact damage, and other storm-related concerns.

5. Warranties Require Proper Maintenance

Lastly, some manufacturers of roofing materials require homeowners to provide required maintenance and have it done by professional roofers to keep the warranty valid.

Under any circumstance, a failure to provide the maintenance required by the manufacturer could leave homeowners with a failing installation and no recourse.

Promote Roof Longevity with Regular Roofing Maintenance

The conclusion in all of this should be a simple one for homeowners to understand.

No matter how long the lifespan of any roof is purported to be, reaching that point involves hiring roofing services to perform the maintenance required to promote longevity.
