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.
Seasonal Challenges and How to Address Them
Each season brings different challenges for your roof. Here's how to manage these weather-related issues 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: 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: Falling leaves and debris can clog gutters, leading to water damage. Clean gutters regularly and inspect for any signs of wear before winter arrives.
