Winter in Ontario can be tough on your roof. With freezing temperatures, heavy snowfall, and icy conditions, it's important to take steps to ensure your roof stays in good condition throughout the winter months. Here are some winter roof maintenance tips to help protect your home and ensure your roof stays in top shape
Our Tips
Heavy snow and ice buildup on your roof can cause serious damage, including roof collapse. Use a snow rake or broom to safely remove snow from your roof after each snowfall. Clearing the snow from your gutters and downspouts is also important to prevent ice dams from forming.
Winter weather can cause damage to your roof, including cracked or missing shingles, damaged flashing, and leaks. Inspect your roof regularly for any signs of damage and address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
Gutters play a vital role in directing water away from your roof and home. Keep your gutters clean and free of debris to prevent water from backing up and causing damage.
Proper attic insulation can help prevent ice dams and keep your home warmer in the winter. Check your attic insulation and add more if needed to help keep your home warm and prevent heat loss.
If you're not comfortable inspecting your roof or performing maintenance tasks yourself, hire a professional roofing company to perform the work for you. A professional can safely and effectively inspect your roof, identify any issues, and perform necessary repairs.
