The Importance of Weatherproofing 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.
How to Tackle Seasonal Roof Challenges
Each season brings unique challenges for your roof. Here’s how to prepare and protect your roof throughout the year:
- 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 weather can bring heavy rains that stress your roof. Check for loose shingles and ensure proper drainage to prevent leaks.
- 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: As leaves fall in autumn, clogged gutters can cause significant water damage. Regularly clean gutters and check for wear to prepare for winter.
