Tips to Maintain Your SupaLite Roof       

Importance of Regular Inspections

To fight against potential issues, regular inspections of your roof are important. Schedule bi-annual inspections to ensure your SupaLite Roof remains in optimal condition. Here’s what to look for:

Check for Damaged Tiles or Panels: Inspect your roof for any cracked or broken tiles. If you find any, replace them promptly to prevent water infiltration.

Clear Debris: Remove leaves, branches, and other debris that might accumulate on your roof to avoid water damage and moss growth.

Examine Flashing and Sealants: Ensure that all flashings and sealants are intact and tightly sealed, avoiding water seepage.

Monitor Gutters and Downspouts: Clean your gutters regularly to prevent water buildup. Water accumulation damages your roof as well as the foundation of your home. 

Cleaning Your SupaLite Roof

A clean roof not only looks appealing but also functions optimally. To avoid any damage to your roof, incorporate proper cleaning methods. Follow these guidelines:

Use Mild Cleaners: When cleaning your SupaLite Roof, opt for mild, non-abrasive cleaners as harsh cleaners erode the roof surface.

Avoid Pressure Washing: While it might be tempting to use a pressure washer, it can force water under the tiles, causing damage. Stick to gentle cleaning methods like soft brushing.

Regularly Remove Moss and Algae: Moss and algae can grow in damp conditions. Remove them promptly to prevent them from compromising your roof’s surface.

Handling Repairs Promptly

Addressing repairs promptly is vital to prevent minor issues from escalating into major problems. Here’s what you should do:

Fix Leaks Immediately: If you notice any signs of water infiltration, such as water stains on your ceiling or damp walls, investigate and fix the source of the leak immediately.

Replace Damaged Tiles: Cracked or broken tiles should be replaced promptly to prevent more severe damage. 

Professional Help for Extensive Damage: For significant damage or if you are unsure about repairs, always seek professional assistance. Certified SupaLite Roof installers can efficiently handle repairs and replacements.

Seasonal Maintenance Tips

Different seasons bring varied challenges for your SupaLite Roof. Tailor your maintenance routine to the specific demands of each season:

Winter: Clear snow and ice promptly to prevent excessive weight on your roof. Use a roof rake to carefully remove snow without damaging the tiles.

Spring: Check for any winter-induced damage and perform a thorough cleaning after the pollen season to maintain the roof’s appearance.

Summer: Trim overhanging branches to prevent them from scratching or falling onto your roof during storms.

Fall: Regularly clean gutters and downspouts to prevent clogs from leaves and debris, especially during the fall season.

If you follow these maintenance tips, the lifespan of your SupaLite roof along with its performance will increase.
