Why Weatherproofing Your Roof Matters
Your roof works tirelessly to protect your property from the elements. Weatherproofing your roof is key to its longevity and protecting your home or business from costly repairs.
How to Tackle Seasonal Roof Challenges
Seasonal weather can be tough on your roof. Here are some expert tips to help you keep your roof protected year-round:
- Winter: Heavy snow and ice buildup can lead to leaks and structural damage. Use a roof rake to clear snow and ensure gutters are free from ice dams.
- Spring: Spring storms and heavy rains can expose vulnerabilities. Inspect for loose shingles or flashing and ensure proper drainage to prevent water pooling.
- Summer: The summer heat can cause roofing materials to expand and crack. Make sure to inspect your roof regularly and ensure ventilation is adequate to reduce heat buildup.
- Fall: As leaves fall in autumn, clogged gutters can cause significant water damage. Regularly clean gutters and check for wear to prepare for winter.
