Why You Should Weatherproof 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: 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: 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: Autumn leaves can clog gutters and cause water damage. Clean out gutters regularly and inspect for damage to prevent issues during the colder months.
