How to Prepare Your Roof for Spring Storms
Spring brings warmer temperatures but also unpredictable storms. High winds, heavy rain, and hail can wreak havoc on your roof. Taking preventive steps now can save you from costly repairs later.
1. Inspect Your Roof for Winter Damage
Before spring storms hit, check your roof for:
- Missing, cracked, or curled shingles
- Loose flashing around vents and chimneys
- Signs of water damage or leaks in the attic
2. Clean Your Gutters
Clogged gutters prevent proper drainage, leading to water damage and roof leaks. Remove debris and check for signs of sagging or blockages.
3. Trim Overhanging Trees
Strong winds can cause branches to break off and damage your roof. Trim back any overhanging limbs to reduce the risk of impact damage.
4. Schedule a Professional Roof Inspection
A professional can identify hidden damage and recommend necessary repairs. If your roof has sustained previous storm damage, consider scheduling a roof repair before the next storm hits.
