Although roofs are strong and durable, any roof can be damaged by bad weather if not taken care of or looked after. Here are some ways to maintain your roof this winter!

1. Remove any snowfall - While it may look gorgeous to have your home blanketed in snow, if it sits too long, it can cause damage. Like ice, snow weighs a lot, and just a few inches can create a heavy load for your roof to hold.

2. Clean your gutters - Coming off the fall season, your gutters may still contain leaves that fell from trees nearby. Make sure they are cleaned to let rain and melting snow flow properly.

3. Fix your flashing - Flashing can quickly come loose or warped after a few years, even if properly laid. Broken flashing can allow snow and water to enter your roof, leading to potential leaks inside the home.

4. Keep an eye on your attic - The state of your attic is directly linked to the condition of your roof. Ensure there are clear routes for ventilation and that your insulation is working as it should.

Now that Winter is in full effect, it's important to protect your house's pipes! When temperatures drop below freezing, water in pipes can solidify and expand, putting immense pressure on the pipes. This can cause them to crack or burst, leading to water damage!

Here are some ways to prevent this from happening.

❄️ Allow a slow drip from faucets connected to exposed pipes during extremely cold nights.

❄️ Open cabinet doors under sinks to allow warm air to circulate around pipes.

❄️ Shut off the water supply to outdoor faucets and drain them completely.

❄️ Use foam pipe insulation to insulate pipes (consider heat tape for extreme cold).

❄️ Seal any gaps or cracks with caulk or spray foam to keep cold air out.

❄️ Drain any other pipes that won't be used during the winter season.

If your pipes freeze, you have any questions, or just want general tips to keep your house operating well this winter, give us a call!
