Are you prepping your home for the winter months? To many homeowners, this includes cleaning the gutters, checking that your insulation is in good shape, sealing windows, and having pre-winter service done on your HVAC system.
A task many homeowners neglect is a pre-winter roof inspection. Here’s why this is a step in winterizing your home that you shouldn’t skip.
Prevent Damage
Spotting small breaches in your roof helps to minimize the chance of damage from snow and ice. Sure, a few missing shingles might not seem like a big deal—but it leaves your home susceptible to leaks and secondary damage when your roof is covered in snow and ice.
Insulation
Your roof helps to keep heat from escaping your home, but missing or compromised shingles leave an opening for heat to escape. Sealing leaks and, as mentioned above, double-checking you home has proper insulation, will help you maintain a more comfortable home and save on your heating costs.
Structural Integrity
When heavy snow collects on a roof that is damaged roof, it can lead to structural damage. Even if you don’t think your roof has any damage, a pre-winter inspection rules it out, so you can have peace of mind all winter long.
