2. Watch Out For Ice
In our last blog, we began to discuss the next great step toward maintaining your roof. This step is linked to this winter season as well. It is ice. When snow stays too long on your roof and when temperatures drop, ice becomes a big problem for your roof. Sometimes, even when it is not snow, but rain and then quickly dropping temperatures, ice can and will form on your roof top.
AS we have discussed before in these blogs, gutters are an important and very helpful thing for your roof and its maintenance. When ice forms and freezes on your roof it can create a dangerous ice dam. An ice dam is when frozen water gathers and collects around your gutters.
When your gutters and the areas near it are blocked by this ice dam, they do not work as they should. When the water that collects on your has no where to go, well then, it does not go anywhere and simply stays on your roof. This can cause damage to the shingles and even create leaks into your home.
Dealing with this slick and slippery ice on your roof yourself can be risky and dangerous. Instead, it is recommended that you hire professionals to do this tricky job for you.
We will continue to discuss all the ways to help you maintain roof top in the winter. In the next few blogs we will keep you up to date with all you need to do to ensure the proper care of your home’s roof during what can be such brutal winters in our lovely state of Colorado.
