In Newtown, PA, the fall season is an important time for roof maintenance before winter to protect your home from snow and ice. The roof of your home is an important investment, and it only makes sense to protect it. Below are a few tips for fall roof maintenance.


Add A Chimney Cap

If you have a chimney, the first thing you should do after having your chimney inspected and cleaned is to add a chimney cap. Not only do chimney caps protect your home from unwanted critters, but block rain and downdrafts.

Have Your Gutters Cleaned

A clogged gutter will keep water touching the roof, which leads to mold, cracks, and invites unwanted pests to take advantage of your roof’s weakened state. Before the leaves start falling, clean your gutters and keep an eye on them throughout the season.

Install Gutter Guards

You’re not the only one who hates cleaning your gutters, and gutter guards are an extremely affordable way to reduce the amount of time you have to take care of your gutters. Gutter guards prevent leaves and large debris from falling inside while allowing water to penetrate the small holes.

Trim Your Trees Back

Keeping branches trimmed not only protects your roof but also reduces the amount of leaves that will clog your gutters.

Repair Roofing Issues

Minor issues with your roof have a higher chance of turning into huge problems in the winter, especially since Newtown, PA, sees around 35 inches of snow, or more, each year.
