With your end-of-year responsibilities piling up, the last thing you might be thinking about is a part of the house rarely given attention—the roof. However, it’s crucial to schedule roof washing services before winter begins. Here are just four of the many reasons why it’s worth having your roof washed in the fall. 

Why You Should Have Your Roof Washed This Fall

1. Moderate Weather

Once winter hits, your home will be pummeled by snow, sleet, and hail. As a result, climbing up a ladder to get to your roof will be extremely dangerous. With the addition of using water to clean up gunk and debris, the chances of slipping and falling will be high. Instead, use the moderate weather in the fall as an opportunity to have a roof washing professional provide a cleaning.

2. Debris

Compared to the other seasons, fall dredges up the most debris. From falling leaves to airborne twigs and branches, your roofing and gutters can quickly become dirty. Fall is the most important season to clean your roof. Think of all the debris you can get rid of!

3. The Snowball Effect

If you don’t remove autumn’s leftover twigs and branches, they can clog your drainage system. Even worse, snow and sleet will have nowhere to go and will pile up on your roof and will trap fall’s leftovers underneath. Eventually, this could lead to water damage and rotting.

 4. A Clear View

In the winter, the cold air makes it difficult to do anything outside, and the snow will minimize debris visibility—especially in places where it commonly builds up, like on your roof. By having this surface cleaned in the fall, roof washing professionals will have a clear view of any issues, so they can address them before winter rolls in.
