Here are some tips to help you make sure that your roof is ready for Winter:
1. Start off by checking the roof framing structure to make sure it is not compromised. Visually scan the roof for any sagging or uneven areas.
2. Inspect the gutter systems to make sure they are not clogged with branches, leaves, or other debris.
3. Make sure that gutters are fastened properly and are tight and secure so that they don’t cause overflow and build-up or fall off the fascia board.
4. Check the valleys of the roof to ensure that they are also free and clear of debris that can add weight to the roof and also act as a barrier to rain and snow.
5. Metal flashing should also be used around roof vents, pipes, skylights, and chimneys. One of the most common causes for roofing leaks is due to problems with flashing.6. Walk around to carefully inspect the shingles on the roof – look for curling edges, missing granules, etc.
If you would like you can have a professional roofing company like Everdry Roofing inspect your roof to diagnose any issues that could cause a problem! Better to be safe than sorry!
