Winter is upon us. Is your roof ready?

Winter Weather Risks to Your Roof

Freezing temperatures can magnify small cracks or minor damages and turn them into larger gaps or damages.

Snow and ice dams can pose a weight burden on your roofing system potentially causing structural damage or even collapse, in extreme cases.

Melting snow and ice can cause water to leak in through expanded cracks or holes and potentially damage your attic and/or the ceilings and walls of your home.

Roof Tips for Texas Homeowners

• Clean leaves and soil from the gutter system.

• Check roof surface for existing wear and tear, storm damage or loose/missing shingles.

• Inspect the attic for any areas of concern to the insulation and venting.

• Inspect all flashing on the perimeters of the roofing system.

• Trim overgrown branches and clean excess foliage that may have collected such as leaves and sticks.

• Monitor ice dams and icicles after inclement weather for potential weight stress on the roof.
