TIPS TO MAINTAIN YOUR ROOF THIS WINTER

Winter can wreak havoc everywhere, and especially on the roof. A roof is designed to protect you from the harsh weather conditions and not let any harm be caused. TK Roofing understands the difficulties the winter season can bring, thus has come up with the best tips for the winter season. The roof protects us and our job is to keep it maintained as much as possible. While the technology helps the roofing material to keep on advancing, there are still a few things that need to be done in order to keep everything in perfect condition. Trust us, roof failures are the last thing that you need to be bothered with in the chilly season. Always be one step ahead of this harsh weather and remain stress-free during the winter months.

DO NOT LET THE SNOW ACCUMULATE

We get it; no one wants to go outside in the super chilly weather to remove the snow from the roof. But the more you let the snow stay on the roof, the more prone it will become to damage. The constant pressure on the roof can cause the weak spots on the roof to fail. So, as soon as the snow stops and it is safe to go outside, you can go and clean the roof. Not just that but when the snow melts, it forms ice dams, the continuous process of the snow melting and freezing can lead to more pressure on the roof. When removing the snow, be extra careful. The roofs can be extra slippery during this time and can lead to injuries. Your safety is our number one priority, ask us for help and we will be at your disposal.

CHECK THE ROOF

Whenever you think that a storm or heavy snowfall can happen in the near future, go on the roof and give it a check. When you do this, little faults can be detected and can be fixed before turning into a bigger problem. Look for missing shingles, cracks, mold, bent shingles, etc. If you spot anything at all, call for repair.

KEEP THE GUTTER CLEAN

It is important that the melted water has a way out from the roof, this is only possible if you have clean gutters. Make sure they are free from debris and are doing their job properly. Check them once before the winter season starts, and also periodically. If you find anything unusual, call the repair guy.
