Winter is not too\u00a0far away, and if you take on the task of roof repair in Coeur d’Alene<\/a> right now, you can assure that your roof will be leak-free. Never attempt this in the winter since going up to your roof in the cold is a health and safety concern! We see it all the time,\u00a0folks climbing up their ice-covered roof\u00a0in the winter,\u00a0but it’s simply dangerous! Keep reading to learn how to prepare your roof for winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Begin With A Blank Slate –<\/strong>\u00a0 It is very tempting to apply brand new roof shingles over the existing, damaged shingles, but\u00a0this is not a lasting fix; rather, it is a “band-aid solution” that may not endure the pressure of winter. The best thing to do is to remove all of the damaged roof shingles simultaneously. In addition to protecting your roof from the harsh winter weather, you’ll also be able to simply install the required roof accessories, such as leak barriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always Keep Your Roof Clean –<\/strong>\u00a0 Remember that one of the reasons many roofs fail during the winter is that they are already damaged with leaks. To prevent this from happening, you must find a means to keep your roof free of trash such as waste products, dead tree leaves and branches, and other such debris. One approach to accomplish this is to clip the leaves and trim the branches of trees that overlook your room on a regular basis. The more you maintain your trees clean, the cleaner your roof will be, and it will be less likely to leak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Sure Your Gutters Are Clean<\/strong>\u00a0–<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 It is not enough to simply clean your roof! It is equally vital to maintain clear\u00a0gutters and downspouts as it is to keep your roof clean. Gutters become clogged with the same debris that destroys the roof: dead tree branches, dead leaves, and so forth. Remember that if the gutters become clogged with such debris, it will only cause serious difficulties in your attic as the temperature begins to drop. Make an effort to clean your gutters at least 30 days before winter arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insulate Your Roof –<\/strong>\u00a0 Doing so will adequately\u00a0protect it from the elements.\u00a0 Do you know that one of the main causes of roof leaks in the winter is heat transfer throughout the roof, which melts the snow? This heat transmission will be reduced if your attic is adequately insulated! If you must climb your roof with ice-melting\u00a0pucks in the winter, be sure they are calcium chloride and not sodium chloride that\u00a0can eat away at\u00a0asphalt shingles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
