Here’s Why Winter Roof Maintenance Matters
Winter months can be harsh on your home and roof and are directly related to the home’s energy and heat. Skipping winter roof maintenance can result in elevated heating bills, leaks, and unwanted repairs. With a little bit of work, you can reduce or minimize the chances of heat loss and stave off winter storms.
How Winter Roof Maintenance Saves Energy
Prevents Heat Loss
An uninsulated roof or a damaged one makes it easy for warm air to leave the house. This prompts the heating system to work extra hard. Proper maintenance of roof insulation and sealing prevents significant heat loss and contributes to energy cost savings.
Enhances Roof Insulation
Inadequate insulation can cause cold drafts to blow through the house while causing the home’s heating system to work overtime. Sunbelt Roofs offers roof insulation checks so that your attic and roof work to retain heat effectively.
Prevents Ice Dams
When snow melts and refreezes along the edges of the roof, ice dams are created. This can block drainage and lead to leaks. Ice dam formation can be avoided by maintenance of gutters and inspections of roofs. This will minimize the chances of damaged ice from protecting the home.
Aids in Roof Ventilation Improvement
Effective ventilation for a roof attic minimizes humidity accumulation, thawing roof slabs, and added heating expense. At Sunbelt Roofs, we take it upon ourselves to verify that your roof vents are unclogged for adequate ventilation.
Minimizing Damage from Winter Storms
Ice, strong winds, and heavy snow can cause roofing shingles to break or come loose, giving rise to leaks and other construction weaknesses. A roof inspection before winter can reveal such construction weaknesses just before the winter.
