Why Weatherproofing is Vital for 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
Each season brings unique challenges for your roof. Here’s how to prepare and protect your roof throughout the year:
- 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 weather can bring heavy rains that stress your roof. Check for loose shingles and ensure proper drainage to prevent leaks.
- Summer: Summer heat can lead to roof material expansion and cracking. Schedule an inspection and ensure ventilation is up to standard to prevent heat-related damage.
- Fall: Fall leaves and debris can obstruct gutters. Clean them regularly and inspect your roof for damage before the cold weather sets in.
