Why Weatherproofing Your Roof Matters
Exposing your roof to harsh weather every season can cause significant wear. Weatherproofing is an essential step in extending its lifespan and preventing expensive damage.
How Weather Changes Affect Your Roof and How to Manage Them
Every season presents specific challenges for your roof. Follow these tips to weatherproof your roof effectively for each season:
- Winter: Snow and ice can accumulate on your roof, causing potential damage. Use a roof rake to remove snow and make sure your gutters are clear to avoid 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: 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: Fall leaves and debris can obstruct gutters. Clean them regularly and inspect your roof for damage before the cold weather sets in.
