Why You Should Weatherproof Your Roof
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.
Addressing Roof Challenges Throughout the Year
Seasonal weather can be tough on your roof. Here are some expert tips to help you keep your roof protected year-round:
- Winter: In winter, snow and ice buildup can cause leaks and damage. Make sure to clear snow with a roof rake and inspect gutters for ice dams.
- Spring: Spring brings storms that can uncover weaknesses in your roof. Inspect for loose shingles and ensure water drainage is working properly.
- Summer: Intense heat can cause roofing materials to expand and crack. Schedule inspections to identify early signs of damage and maintain adequate ventilation to reduce heat stress.
- Fall: As leaves fall in autumn, clogged gutters can cause significant water damage. Regularly clean gutters and check for wear to prepare for winter.
