Spring is in the air, and that means things are about to start melting (and re-freezing), dripping, and adding extra weight to your gutters and roof. So what can you do to avoid emergency roof repairs to your Edmonton home? Here at Legacy, we have a few recommendations to keep your roof in peak condition this year.
Once you’re able to safely get on to your roof and access your gutters, you will want to remove any excess tree branches and debris that may have fallen and blown onto your roof and gutters over the winter. Make sure your gutters are not full of ice causing ice-dams. These ice-dams can lead to damage to your gutters, improper drainage, or your gutters to break completely. You will also want to remove any build-up of leaves and other debris that can cause excess moisture and eventually lead to roof rot which will lead to major roof repairs.
Once you have removed any leaves and branches, you’ll want to take a look at your nearby trees. Look out for any over grown branches that may not be able to support the weight of another snowfall, or the high speeds of a windy day. Maintaining your trees is a great preventative measure to avoid costly and emergency roof repairs.
These are just a few tips to help you maintain your roof year long. If you do find you have issues with your roof, noticed a leak, possible roof rot, or other damage, make sure you get in touch with Legacy Exteriors and Roofing, your trusted roof repair company in the Edmonton area.
