When  a new roof is installed on your building, the materials it is made of come with a forecasted life span. In other words, there is specific information about  how long it can be expected to remain viable. This forecasted lifespan is valid only if the material is properly maintained. Without reasonable care from one of the Fort Worth roofing companies, your roof will probably last shorter than they forecasted. Here are the roofing components that are especially sensitive to neglect:

  • The gutters – the ideal lifespan of the drainage system adjacent to the roof depends on the material that makes the pipes and on the attention they receive. Failing to clean the gutters can quickly lead to clogging. This will also have severe consequences for the roof surface as it will not be able to drain properly.
  • The roof surface – regardless of the material your roof surface is made from, its life span will depend on the amount of cleaning it receives, and not merely on warranty. Regularly removing the dust and dirt that accumulates on the roof surface prevents many other types of damage, such as damage caused by excessive moisture. The roof surface also needs to be regularly inspected for any cracks that could be caused by recent storms or by impact.
