Maintenance Tips |
|
- Keeping a roof over your head is not simply for shelter. Together with your guttering and downpipes, your roof provides a sophisticated drainage system protecting you and your belongings from water damage.
- Periodic checks of your gutters and downpipes are essential. It will reveal potential problems before they cause damage. You don't want to discover these problems during a heavy rainfall, it could be costly. Here's what to look for...
- Maintain your guttering with periodic checks month to month.
- Rust should be treated as soon as identified to inhibit growth and prevent secondary problems.
- Ensure that gutters and downpipes are free from leaves and debris
- Look for signs of damage to the support structure like sagging or rotting. During a heavy rainfall your gutters need strength to hold all that water.
- If water spills out of the gutter during a down-pour instead of draining freely, it indicates a serious blockage somewhere in the system. It should be identified and repaired as soon as possible.
- To inspect your own roof, once a month go to a position where you can see your roof clearly (on your front footpath, or in your back yard). Scan your roof carefully, observing any signs of trouble.
- A problem is brewing if you can see a build up of moss; cracked tiles, pointing or flashings, colour fading & loose tiles.
- Remember that Emblem is always here to help. If something is concerning you about your roof or guttering you're welcome to call. We are here to ensure that your roof is ready to face the weather rain, hail or shine.
