How to keep soffit dry from roof runoff.

Last week i talked a bit about how a green roof is one way to help manage stormwater runoff. Use a vinyl rake to clear areas you can t reach. Structure refers to the clumping together of soil particles. Use heavy rubber gloves to scoop up materials in areas you can safely reach.

Often urban and suburban soil is dense compacted and has low fertility. Adding organic matter or compost to the soil reduces soil density and improves soil structure. Pull down to remove the old soffit. Take note of any overhanging tree branches and trim them away from the roof.

Pry the narrow shingle mold from the fascia using a flat bar. The cause of rotted eave boards is excess moisture usually the result of faulty drainage at the roof edges. Be careful not to damage any nearby roof shingles or flashing. Water runoff during the rainy season tends to keep the fascia and eave boards.

If it comes off without splitting reuse it later. Remove the rotted section of fascia. Finally you can dig a dry well in any low area. Another simple and straightforward way is to make sure that the landscape of your garden is.

Clean your roof by removing any debris and dirt that may have accumulated from valleys snow guards gutters and the area behind the chimney.
