The Importance of Regular Roof Cleaning

There’s never a bad time to tend to the cleanliness of your roof in Fort Myers and surrounding Florida cities.  Here in Florida, we’re provided with ideal weather for year-round roof cleaning.  Costly repairs and higher-than-average cooling expenses are just a couple of ways that business and home owners can expect to overspend on resources when roof maintenance is neglected.

To help to prevent issues from becoming an unplanned and unwanted expense, our Naples roofing contractors are here to provide you with a few simple actions you can take to help keep your home and business roof clean:

  • Frequently inspect for damage. It’s a good ideal to inspect the structure and the roofing membrane periodically for damage.  You will want to keep an eye out for tears and punctures in the membrane.  Inspect and ensure that wind and recent storms have not compromised the reliability of the membrane.
  • Remove debris. It’s critical to remove leaves, branches, trash and other materials from the roof.  If you neglect to remove such items, they can blow around and potentially cause tears and punctures to the membrane.  They can also clog drains, which can create puddling and other water drainage issues that can lead to even more serious roofing issues.  Make sure you’re inspecting and cleaning all of your gutters, overflow drains, roof drains and scuppers to make sure you’ve got a free flow of rainwater on your roof.
  • Clean your roof. Not only is a clean roof an aesthetically-pleasing roof, but it can also help to improve the performance of your roofing membrane.  When the membrane is dirty, you run the risk for a higher surface temperature.
  • Consider enlisting a qualified roofing contractor to help ensure that your roof is not only clean but efficient. With Crown, we can help you to obtain the quality protection of your roof through online roof management software, periodic roof inspection and maintenance services, and annual budgeting reports with dedicated service technicians.

Flat roofs, by design, are more likely to be compromised by the elements of weather because of their positioning.  Remember that energy consumption is a serious expense that helps to keep the inside of your home and business comfortable for residents, guests and workers.  A clean roof is a cheaper roof.  Keeping up with the cleanliness and the maintenance of your roof can help you to better avoid costly issues and can help to keep your roofing standing strong through the tough Florida weather for years to come.

We recommend all home and business owners to keep a close eye on the condition of their roofing system, and the best way to do that is through a thorough and comprehensive Bonita Springs roof inspection and maintenance agreement with Crown.  Call us at (855) 685-3850 today for a free estimate.
