The rainy season has arrived. While it will bring relief from drought, heavy thunderstorms can cause severe damage to homes and buildings. It is important to do preventative roof maintenance so that your roof can withstand any weather conditions.
These are some easy steps you can follow to prepare your roof for rain.
Clear your gutters
Gutters can quickly get clogged up with leaves and other debris during autumn and winter. This can prevent rainwater from draining from your gutters and away from your house. By clearing out obstructions, you can reduce water flow problems and possible damage to your roof.
Inspect for damage
In older homes where maintenance is not done properly, it is a good idea for you to inspect your roof for any broken or missing tiles. Even if the damage to your roof isn’t severe enough, it can be enough to turn a broken tile in a major leakage. For any damaged tiles, call a professional roofing contractor, such as ours.

Waterproof your roof
