Winter is one of the harshest seasons for your roof, and the accumulation of snow and ice can have a huge impact on its service life. As the temperature begins to drop, it is important that you take special care of it if you want to avoid a large roof repair bill from your local roofer. With that being said, here are a few ways you can make sure that your roof stays in good shape throughout the winter.
Remove Snow
Sure, a layer of beautiful white snow can look postcard-perfect on your roof. However, along with ice, snow puts a lot of added weight on it. Aside from potentially harming any weak spots on your roof, snow that falls on your roof can melt and then freeze again overnight, damaging your gutters as well as other important components.
Check Your Attic Ventilation
If you didn’t already know, your attic plays a huge role in the overall performance of your roof. Part of your pre-winter roof maintenance routine should be making sure that your attic is properly ventilated. A poorly ventilated attic can result in problems like ice dam formation and shortened lifespan.
Schedule an Inspection
While there are a lot of things you can do yourself to make sure that your roof stays safe during the winter, the best thing you can do is to hire a professional to conduct a thorough inspection. This way, you can enjoy your winter festivities without having to worry about the condition of your roof.
