Metal roofs can help to reduce your energy bills as they reflect solar heat, helping your home to keep cool. For this reason, they are also a more environmentally friendly option and can even be made from recyclable metal materials.
The frequency in which a roof needs to be replaced depends on the material the roof is constructed from and the environmental conditions it has been exposed to. For example, asphalt shingle roofs have an expected life expectancy of between 20 to 25 years.
A leaky roof can cause mould to grow due to moisture build-up within a roof or attic which creates the perfect breeding ground for mould. It’s important to have a leaky roof fixed ASAP.
Gutters tend to become blocked when debris, such as leaves and foliage, obstruct the water flow of the gutter. It is often unsafe to try and unclog a gutter yourself, especially if they are at a height, so it is recommended to contact a plumber should you suspect your gutters are clogged. If left unattended, clogged gutters can cause water damage in both the interior and exterior of a home.
