How do you clean an asphalt roof?

Firstly, wear protective clothing and secure yourself using a full-body harness. Use a broom or leaf blower to remove the debris on your roof then spray it with a roof cleaner. The cleaner you use should be a specially formulated cleaning agent that’s noncorrosive and environmentally friendly. Wait for about 20 minutes for the cleaner to do its job, then rinse the shingles using water. Ensure you clean your roof on an overcast day that isn’t too windy to prevent the roof cleaner from drying up too quickly.

How do you stop a roof leak in the rain?

Immediately place a bucket below the leak to contain the incoming water and dry out the area using a towel or sponge. Next, go to your attic to look for the site of the leak. Once you find it, apply tar to the underside of the roof, then press a shingle or piece of plywood into the tar to cover the leak. Apply more tar around the edges of the patch to properly seal the leak. However, this is just a quick fix to prevent worse damage. Remember to contact us later for a more permanent solution.

Which type of roof is better?

How do you keep moss from growing on your roof?

Moss grows best in the shade so cut back trees that shade your roof to prevent it from taking hold. You can also apply a moss preventive treatment on your roof to hinder growth. Since copper and zinc are toxic to moss, you could affix some strips of the metals to the ridge of your roof. As it rains, water will carry molecules of zinc or copper down the roof and kill any growing moss. Alternatively, consider buying moss-resistant shingles. These have metal granules embedded in their surface to prevent the growth of moss.

How to install a gutter system?

First, calculate the total length of gutters you’ll need for your house and buy them together with the appropriate number of downspouts and gutter brackets. Using a hacksaw or tin-snips, cut the gutters into their proper sizes. You should then mount the gutter brackets onto your house’s face board every 18-24 inches. Cut out openings irrelevant sections of the gutters for a downspout opening, then affix downspout connectors using metal screws and high-quality sealant. Don’t forget to attach end-caps to an open-ended run of the gutter. Place the gutters onto their brackets and attach the downspout to the connectors that were installed earlier. Lastly, use a sealant to seal any seams in the entire gutter system and let it dry overnight.
