Roofing Maintenance Tips for Every Season
As a homeowner in St. Louis, ensuring your roof is well-maintained throughout the year is essential for its longevity and performance. Follow these seasonal maintenance tips to keep your roof in top condition:
Winter:
- Inspect for ice dams and icicles, which can cause water backup and damage.
- Clear snow and debris from gutters and downspouts to prevent ice buildup.
- Check for leaks and address any insulation issues to prevent heat loss.
Spring:
- Conduct a thorough inspection for any winter damage, such as loose or missing shingles.
- Clean gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage during heavy spring rains.
- Trim tree branches near the roof to prevent damage from falling limbs.
Summer:
- Inspect and clean the roof surface to remove debris and algae growth.
- Check for signs of heat damage, such as cracked or curled shingles, and address promptly.
- Ensure proper attic ventilation to reduce heat buildup and prolong shingle life.
Fall:
- Clean gutters and downspouts again to prepare for autumn rains and prevent clogs.
