Why Weatherproofing Your Roof Matters
Your roof is your property’s first line of defense against the elements. From harsh winters to scorching summers, it endures constant exposure to weather that can lead to wear and tear over time. Weatherproofing your roof not only extends its lifespan but also protects your home or business from costly repairs.
How to Tackle Seasonal Roof Challenges
Seasonal weather can be tough on your roof. Here are some expert tips to help you keep your roof protected 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 storms and heavy rains can expose vulnerabilities. Inspect for loose shingles or flashing and ensure proper drainage to prevent water pooling.
- 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: Falling leaves and debris can clog gutters, leading to water damage. Clean gutters regularly and inspect for any signs of wear before winter arrives.
