The Importance of Weatherproofing Your Roof
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.
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: 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 brings storms that can uncover weaknesses in your roof. Inspect for loose shingles and ensure water drainage is working properly.
- Summer: The heat of summer can stress your roof. Check for damage and make sure ventilation is optimal to prevent roof damage from heat expansion.
- 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.
