To help keep your metal roof in good condition, here are some simple maintenance tips to follow:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surepulse.com\/backend\/public\/uploads\/photos\/c1a5e994c72ee4d6fb16c88e888fd6341f380a3f-81-bonedrywest2.jpg\" alt=\"Metal Roof\" width=\"536\" height=\"402\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Avoid using power washers.&nbsp;<\/strong>It&#8217;s more convenient to use a power washer to wash your metal roof, but if the pressure settings are set too high or you spray it too close, it can leave dents on your metal roof.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trim back overhanging tree limbs.&nbsp;<\/strong>Overgrown tree limbs can scratch your metal roof&#8217;s protective coating and even dislodge some of its fasteners. Make sure to check your roof&#8217;s valleys or low-sloped areas, as leaves and other kinds of debris often get stuck in these places.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Clean your gutters.&nbsp;<\/strong>Gutters form part of your roof&#8217;s first line of defense against the elements. By diverting rainwater to the drains, they protect your metal roof from moisture damage. However, your gutters won&#8217;t be able to do their job if there are leaves, twigs and debris clogging them. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s important to have your gutters routinely cleaned. As a general rule, you should clean them at least twice a year, or every three months if there&#8217;s a lot of foliage near your house.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keep an eye on roof penetrations.&nbsp;<\/strong>Metal roof leaks usually appear near air vents and skylights. That&#8217;s why you need to keep an eye on these areas and roof penetrations in general.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it&#8217;s best to let professionals handle roof maintenance.&nbsp;<\/strong>Roof inspections are an essential part of any maintenance routine. The problem is, it&#8217;s easy to miss the subtle warning signs of roof damage, and by the time the more noticeable signs are found, it&#8217;s usually too late to mitigate the damage. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s best to let qualified roofing contractors handle roof maintenance and inspections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bone Dry Roofing \u00e2\u20ac\u201c West offers a wide range of professional roofing services.
