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.
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: Heavy rains and storms in the spring can lead to roof issues. Regular inspections and proper drainage will prevent water damage.
- 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.
