Water damage can turn into a major expense because of its ill effects on your home’s structural integrity. Furthermore, it contributes to mold development, which is harmful to your health. It can be daunting to deal with it, considering that it can wreak havoc on your property, but there are several ways to prevent this from happening. Here are tips from Bradford Xteriors, your go-to company for roof replacement and repair:
Repair Your Roof
Even the smallest of leaks can cause significant damage to your home. For instance, they can short wires in the attic or ceiling, which increases the risks of fire. They can also saturate your insulation, which can result in skyrocketing energy bills. As soon as you notice water stains or mold on your ceiling, seek the help of a reliable roofer to assess the system’s condition and make the necessary repairs.
Upgrade Your Siding
If your old siding is already past its prime or has sustained damage beyond repair, be sure to replace it with a durable, low-maintenance one like fiber cement. Unlike vinyl, it withstands warping, sagging, and melting. This means no matter what the conditions are, it will remain dimensionally stable to keep your home weathertight and energy-efficient. At Bradford Xteriors, we offer James Hardie® siding to ensure superior performance.
Clean Your Gutters
Your gutters are an integral part of your home. They direct water away from your roof and foundation to keep your home from sustaining extensive damage. However, they have an open design which makes them prone to clogging. It’s vital to clean them at least twice a year, preferably during spring and fall, to maintain their efficiency. To spare you the hassles of demanding upkeep they require, consider installing a gutter protection system.
