Winterize Your Roof – How to 

Newer roofs can withstand most of our Ontario winter weather but with the snow, Ice, and severe winds your roof will endure damage little by little every season. In order to keep your roof strong and preserve its warranty you will need to winterize your roof! The roofers at ACCL Roofer have provided this article with tips on how to prepare your roof for the snow and ice.

Any roofing company or contractor will agree that roofs need annual and or seasonal inspections. During the fall season it is mostly recommended that you check your roof, so you can notice the minor problems before the winter weather hits.

Winterize your roof – Tips on how to Prepare your Roof for winter:

Inspect ceilings and walls: Checking your ceilings and walls before and after a rainstorm looking for any signs of leaks.

Insulated attic: By adding insulation to your attic it will conserve heat generated inside the home and regulate the temperature of your roof. If you do not have the proper installation on your attic snow and ice on your roof can melt at different speeds resulting in excess weight, and ice dams.

Clearing Debris: Leaves and debris create extra weight and once you add snow to the weight it can become too heavy to support and result in costly repairs. Avoiding this step will cause all the debris on your roof to be wasted into your gutter the next time it rains, hence causing your gutters to clog. Since debris blocks the flow of water it can also lead to mold, rot, and ice dams.

Installing leaf guards: By installing leaf guards it will help your gutters prevent debris from pilling up in the fall season.
