Roo Roofing Blog

Gutters make sure your home is able to properly distribute both groundwater and rainwater away from your home. Without it, more and more water will seep through into your building’s foundations and walls, making them less sturdy and if your house stands on foundations made out of wood, then the additional water seepage will cause the wood to rot at a rapid pace. But what if your gutters aren’t doing what they should be doing? In this post, we share 5 signs that it’s time to replace your gutters.

You notice a tint of bluish-green on your roof...but your roof is red, is something growing on your roof? And if so, can it damage it? In this post, we take a closer look at moss and algae and the impacts they could potentially have on your roof. Some of the most seemingly innocent, yet dangerous things that could be on your roof right now include moss, algae, and debris such as leaves. Moss and leaves can both trap moisture beneath them, which means that roof holding them will stay damp for long periods of time. This dampness will eventually begin to break down into your roof, causing it to deteriorate at a much faster rate. In time, this moisture will begin to seep into your roof causing rot, mould, or mildew in your ceilings and other parts of your home.
