As temperatures drop and winter approaches, a pre-winter roof inspection is one of the best ways to protect your building from costly problems. Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures put added stress on a roof, and any small issues left unchecked in the fall can quickly turn into major concerns once winter weather sets in.
Cleaning Drains and Gutters
Leaves and debris from fall can clog roof drains and gutters. If water can’t flow freely, it may freeze, creating ice dams that add weight and stress to the roof system.
Checking Heat Tape
Many buildings use heat tape to keep gutters and downspouts clear of ice. A fall inspection ensures that the tape is properly connected and functioning before the first freeze.
Leak Prevention
Inspecting the roof for signs of wear, loose seams, or vulnerable flashing can stop leaks before they happen. Once winter arrives, repairs become more difficult—and leaks are often harder to locate under snow and ice.
By scheduling an inspection now, you’ll have time to make any small repairs before the snow flies. A proactive approach saves money in the long run, protects the interior of your building, and gives you peace of mind through the winter season.
At Quality Roofing, we recommend a full inspection every fall to keep your roof performing at its best. If you haven’t scheduled your pre-winter roof inspection, now is the time.
