A clean roof is more than just a boost to curb appeal; it's vital for maintaining your homeowner's insurance coverage.

Why Insurance Companies Care About Roof Cleanliness


Insurance companies often require regular roof maintenance to minimize risks and prevent costly claims. Common issues on neglected roofs include:

  • Structural Damage: Algae, moss, and debris trap moisture, leading to rot and weakening the roof structure.

  • Leaks and Water Damage: Blocked gutters can cause water to back up, leading to leaks and internal water damage.

  • Reduced Roof Lifespan: Routine cleaning helps extend roof life, making it a crucial factor for insurance coverage.


The Impact of Roof Cleaning on Insurance Coverage


Most homeowner policies have clauses requiring maintenance. Failing to clean your roof regularly can lead to:

  • Policy Cancellation or Non-Renewal: Insurance companies may cancel or not renew policies for homes with neglected roofs.

  • Claims Denial: Damage claims that could’ve been prevented by cleaning may be denied, leaving repair costs on you.

  • Higher Premiums: Poorly maintained roofs are often considered higher-risk, which can lead to increased premiums.
