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.
How to Tackle Seasonal Roof Challenges
Each season brings unique challenges for your roof. Here’s how to prepare and protect your roof throughout the year:
- 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.
