Environmental Damage Prevention

Environmental damage can happen – it’s one of the main reasons why houses are constructed – to provide shelter for our families. Therefore – your roof is going to take most of the brunt of the weather, rain or shine. Unfortunately, both the rain and the sun can do damage to your roof. This is unavoidable but you can take steps such as the following to take action in terms of reducing the amount of avoidable damage that your roof can sustain from the elements/nature:

• Consider hiring a tree surgeon or taking action into your own hands in terms of trimming branches and trees that are near your property. If a storm hits and sends branches crashing onto your property or the wind makes branches hit the roof – this can cause damage to the shingles and other parts of the roofline system.

• Ensure that you are checking regularly for damage such as checking that the guttering is cleared and that debris has not damaged your roof.
