The Importance of Fall Roof Cleaning

Fall is the best time of year to clean your roof. All you need do is observe nature. Once the trees have dropped their leaves, it is time to prepare for winter. The gentle rain and cooler temperatures make this time of year perfect for an easier, and more comfortable time to get the job done. Ready your home for winter’s chill with a thorough fall roof cleaning. You could say that it just wouldn’t be autumn without clearing your property of leaves, making sure you’re ready for the winter months.

This time of year is an opportunity to clear your roof of rain-soaked leaves that trap moisture and encourage the growth of fungi, lichen, and moss.

Your home may be positioned under particularly large and productive trees that drop many leaves and twigs onto your roof. If that’s the case, a fall roof cleaning is particularly in order.

Annual Fall Roof Cleaning is Good for Its Health

Help your roof defend your home from intrusive growth. A roof that has moss, mildew, algae, or lichen is at risk of having them attach to the surface and invade your shingles. Ultimately, these growths break down the roofing material and create spaces where water accumulates.

Water that pools on your roof in gaps between your shingles or tiles, cause your roofing materials to rot. It can also cause damage in the form of stained ceilings and marks on the walls. It can also cause mould and mildew to form indoors.

Maintaining the health of your roof is important, and fall is the perfect time to give it an annual cleaning. In fact, you can extend the life of your roof by as much as 20 years by keeping it free of damaging debris. Also, if you let this work wait until winter months, water freezes and thaws, which pulls the tiles apart, causing even more damage.

A dirty roof is also unsightly. Even the black streaks caused by algae named “gloeocapsa magma” can damage shingles and shorten the life of your roof.
