Fall Season Roof Checklist

There is no better time than the Fall to take care of all the little things around your home that make a big difference. Most of the tasks relating to a roof that one should tackle during the Fall season are quite straightforward and can be completed by the average person. Although, if you feel that you are not prepared or interested in completing these tasks it is always best to call in a professional as opposed to leaving them unaddressed. One of the main reasons why Fall is the ideal time to inspect roofing systems is due to the fact that the weather is practically perfect as it is not too hot or cold. Ensuring that you complete your checklist before the cold weather and winter months arrive ensures that the tasks can be completed quickly and easily.

Attic:

The first item that should be on your checklist is the attic. The reason why this is #1 on the list of things to check during the fall is that it tends to be the number one cause of many problems inside of a living space as well as the roof. The attic area can quickly become saturated with moisture condensation due to improper ventilation and plumbing. Although it may seem easy enough to check for this yourself, a professional can not only conduct these checks for you but they can also suggest improvements to avoid future problems.

Gutters:

Another thing to check during the fall is your home’s gutters. Checking the condition of gutters should be done regularly due to the fact that keeping them clean can be challenging. The system can be easily clogged by a variety of materials such as twigs, leaves, and other debris. Water that is prevented from properly draining can become stagnant or worse, find its way into the home causing the need for extensive and extensive repairs.
