Mold, Infestation, Leaks, and Rotting The Dangers of a Neglected Roof
We’ve all met those children whose favorite word is “why.” They ask it incessantly, needing to know the reason behind every action. As we get older, we are usually just as curious but perhaps less demanding of an answer. When something isn’t explained to us, we accept it as our fate. Our boss tells us to do something; we do it. Sure, we can ask why if we really want to, but the answer isn’t going to make much of a difference. However, at All-Clean SoftWash!, we believe that when it comes to maintaining your home, and especially your roof, you deserve to know why you should take it seriously. The easiest way to understand the value of regular roof cleaning is to consider it to be a way to insure against future losses. Your home is likely the largest purchase you will make in your lifetime, so, naturally, you want to protect it. And your roof is one of the most important areas to protect. Think of your roof as the helmet to your home. Just as you want a well-functioning helmet when riding a bike, you want to know that your home’s helmet works. Regular maintenance is the best way to do that. “Why?” you ask. Because the alternative is a disaster waiting to happen. An unregarded roof can begin to cause a plethora of problems in a hurry, ranging from the unsightly to the catastrophic. Mold and algae can eat away at wood, causing damage to structures like framing and decking. When moisture piles up, the roof can rot and cause serious leaking throughout your home, even damaging the
foundation. Additionally, unmaintained roofs are a haven for various vermin looking for shelter, including rodents, insects, and birds. It’s not just your roof, either. Seasonal gutter cleaning and inspections are essential for proper drainage. Replacing a roof or gutters after an unfortunate event is many, many times more costly than regularly scheduled professional maintenance. Now that you know why you need to have your roof cleaned, let us show you we’re the ones to clean it. Call All-Clean! today at 503-All-Clean for a free estimate. It just might be the smartest purchase you make all year.
