Whether you've just moved into a replacement property or have lived in a property for an extended period of time and are concerned about low tree branches, it's important to understand the risks they pose to your roof. A low branch can easily damage your roof, whether it's a large or light branch (light branches can expose the roof to rain and the elements just as much as heavy branches). Not only can this affect the shingles and scratch the tiles, it can also cause clogged gutters from falling leaves. By scraping against the roof shingles, it can easily remove layers of asphalt that damage the integrity of the roof. Also, if the leaves start to clog in the gutters, various problems can arise. From leaks to mold and deteriorating gutters, it opens up your roof to a multitude of problems. If there are high winds or a severe storm, branches can also fall and damage your roof or worse, they could get into your home causing extreme damage. It is recommended that tree branches be 8-10 feet away from a roof to ensure your roof remains protected. If you notice any hanging branches, be sure to have them cut immediately to avoid damage. You don't want to have clogged gutters, damaged tiles, or holes in your asphalt shingle roof. So be sure to schedule regular gutter cleanings and cuts.
