1.

Keep your Gutters clear and free of debris. Often, debris can cause a water back up in your Gutters, preventing them from properly draining. This can cause the water to rise and escape from the top. This can allow water entry into Soffit and Fascia areas and cause damage.

2.

Trim Tree Limbs away from the roof surface. Trees can rub the roof surface and cause damage to shingles. Over time, the shingles will begin to fail. This will allow water entry and potentially cause substantial damage.

3.

Clear roof surface of debris. Debris on a roof surface can block or alter the flow of water, enabling it to find ways into your home. A clean, clear roof surface is vital in ensuring proper water runoff.

4.

Look for any discoloration to Interior Sheetrock. This is an indicator of a potential roof leak and can magnify quickly if left unattended.
