Concrete tile remains one of the most popular roofing materials available today–and for good reason! Tile roofing is durable and energy-efficient, and it provides both homes and commercial properties a lovely, premium look. That said, this roofing choice will still require proper maintenance so you can get the most of its service life. Dior Construction, trusted provider of quality residential roofing services, shares some handy tips.
- Perform a visual inspection of your concrete tile roofing. Do this regularly, especially during spring and fall. Look for lichen and moss growth, and check the valleys and gutters for leaves, pine needles and other loose debris. If they have accumulated on the roof’s surface, make sure to clear them off, or hire a professional to do it for you. This way, rainwater continues to have smooth flow on the roof slope.
- Check the condition and security of the concrete roof tiles. Don’t overlook the flashing, accessories and the more vulnerable spots of the system. These include the ridges, valleys and vents–areas where water infiltration is more likely. Should your tile roofing develop a leak, promptly consult Dior Construction, premier residential roofing contractor, for the necessary repair work. With our trained and experienced crew, we’ll restore your roof to rights and extend its life.
- Confirm that the roof ventilation system is in good working order. Concrete tile roofing can keep your home cool and comfortable even on the hottest days, and this is augmented by proper ventilation. Check the grilles and apertures for any blockages, such as dust and debris. Clear them to ensure better airflow within the roof void.
- Cut back overhanging tree branches or foliage. During a storm, these can damage your roof upon impact, increasing the potential for cracks and holes in the material. You can prevent this, along with congestion in your gutter system, by trimming them accordingly.
