Maybe your home is surrounded by trees, or in your garden, you have only one or two trees. The nearer you are to the home, the more trees you will find without even being aware of the roof damage.
Roof damage is much more prevalent than any belief and it is applicable for both commercial and residential buildings.
Examples in Dallas have been found by the commercial and residential roof restoration team time and again in Preferred Roofing.
Many homeowners are surprised to learn about the damage that trees can do–both short and long term. This is why it is so important to conduct regular inspections. It allows you to understand your roof’s current strengths and weaknesses.
Let us take a few moments to learn how your roof can be damaged by trees.

Needles and Leaves

Falling tree can certainly risk the gutters, but it will also directly jeopardize your roof. Dead plants will break down and cause a presence of rot and create an excellent place to grow mold. Alone left for too much time, the mold can start eating roofing materials and you may call for a roof restoration team in Dallas.

Hanging Leaves

If limbs grow to where they hang over your roof you are probably the most common risk from a tree; then you are at risk for the limbs to snap off due to their age and storm, which can cause much damage. Be careful to trim overhanging limbs, especially before the winter and the tempestuous summer.

Critter and Pest

As their selected dwelling place, birds, squirrels, bugs and even more frequent trees. If your tree is a little close to your home, naturally, these pests can reach your roof, turn a house on the rubble or burrow into the roof itself.

Clogged Gutters

In a matter of hours, leaves and dead plant matter can block a canopy and make the gutters largely useless. This may damage your roof extensively, but can also cause base damage, damage to the landscape and even impact on your siding. This is difficult to stop, but we would advise you to look for the ideal fix in gout guards.

Excess Shade

Just as the leaves, a tree with large shadows onto your roof, it can also create mold growth problems because it protects falling mold spore from the sun’s UV light. You could want your roof to move or remove the tree professionally when it begins to develop the mold, especially in the shade.

Trees Prone to Fall

Not the most common, but the most damaging and catastrophic a falling tree. Take care to monitor your age and health if there are trees near your home. If the tree starts to shrink, lean, or develop an illness, you should look for total removal. Release a tree is sorrow, but it is much less than a total substitution of the roof!

Mold

Trees have a shade that is beautiful to unwind on a warm summer day in the front. However, the shade also means additional humidity, and a sunlight-less roof is also likely to grow moss during the rainy months. Monitor your shingles and remove them if they are detectable for signs of moose, mold or mildew growth.
