A Quick Guide To Reducing Your Roof S Fire Risk

Here are some tips on how you can reduce the fire risk of your roof.

Use Class A Roofing Materials

Roofing materials are typically classified into different fire ratings, which indicate their ability to resist fire. Class A roofing products offer the best protection against fire, so you should look for materials with this rating. But apart from the actual roof or shingles, you should also choose a fire-resistant material for your roofing underlayment.

Regularly Clean Your Roof and Chimney

Your roof should be cleaned and maintained regularly. Make sure that leaves, twigs and other debris do not accumulate on your roofing. Such objects could possibly ignite in case of a fire, thus adding to the potential danger to your home.

If you have a chimney, make sure to keep it well-maintained as well. Partially combusted materials are usually left inside your chimney every time you use your fireplace, and they can possibly catch fire given the right conditions.

Check Your Ceiling Insulation

Wrong installation of ceiling insulation as well as improper wiring along an existing insulation can create fire hazards. Make sure to include your ceiling insulation during roof inspections so that you can detect issues early.
