Winter roofing issues

Winter roofing issues

The weather in Texas is unpredictable!!! While we don't typically have snow in Houston, we may be dealing with wind, freezing rain, and ice during this winter. Both ice and rain can damage your roof and gutters, so it is time to prepare your property for the upcoming extreme weather events.

Most common winter roofing issues:

Clogged gutters. - While dry leaves and debris are the most common cause of gutter system clogs, periodic roofing maintenance and inspection will protect both your gutters and roof. Ice. - Have you ever heard about ice dams? Those ice dams are the ridge of ice that can develop underneath your shingles; this moisture can cause severe damages to your building structure. Damaged roof. - While asphalt shingle roofs are stable and long-lasting, freezing temperatures and high wind speeds can cause shingles to crack or fall off. Inspect your roof to avoid unnecessary restorations and prevent severe damage.

Winter is here, but you still have time to prepare your roof!!!

Any of these winter roofing issues can cause severe structural damage to your roof if they are left alone. We suggest inspecting your roof after snowstorms or high wind speeds to prevent future roofing problems. For more information, look for our storm repair services.
