Why Weatherproofing Your Roof Matters
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.
Seasonal Challenges and How to Address Them
Each season brings different challenges for your roof. Here's how to manage these weather-related issues year-round:
- 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.
