Why Weatherproofing is Vital for 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.
How Weather Changes Affect Your Roof and How to Manage Them
Each season brings different challenges for your roof. Here's how to manage these weather-related issues year-round:
- Winter: Winter weather can lead to ice dams and leaks. Keep your roof safe by removing snow and ensuring gutters are clear of ice.
- Spring: Spring brings storms that can uncover weaknesses in your roof. Inspect for loose shingles and ensure water drainage is working properly.
- 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: As leaves fall in autumn, clogged gutters can cause significant water damage. Regularly clean gutters and check for wear to prepare for winter.
