It’s finally that time of year again, your prepping the lawns and gardens of your homes, maybe doing a little reorganizing, getting ready for that warm weather. But have you given thought to your roof condition? After winter, our homes can suffer from snow and ice damage that we may not notice. Yet, when those spring showers hit, the issues will reveal themselves.
What does Snow and Ice do to my Roof?
When snow accumulates on a roof, it adds significant weight, causing pressure. Without proper insulation and protection, the heat and cooling cycles can cause what’s know as Ice Damming. This prevents the precipitation from falling into gutters and creates standing water on your home. This will lead to moisture build up under your shingles and roof decking.
To insure your shingles are in tact, call us for a free inspection. We’ll save you the hassle and danger of climbing up on your roof, at no cost to you. Keep your home dry with us this spring!
How can I prepare my home?
Keep your gutters clean and clear. When debris builds up, this prevents the flow of rain off your roof. With all the melting snow and spring showers headed our way, lets clear a path for it.
There are many additions to your roof you can make to insure its protection. Ice and water shield is a very popular and well tested product that adds that extra barrier between your attic and the elements.
