1. Clean Your Gutters and Downspouts
Clogged gutters are one of the leading causes of ice dams. When water can’t flow off your roof, it freezes and forces its way under shingles—leading to leaks. Before winter hits, make sure your gutters and downspouts are clear of leaves and debris.
2. Inspect for Loose or Missing Shingles
High winds and freezing temps can rip up damaged or loose shingles. Even one missing shingle can allow water to penetrate and freeze inside your roof deck. A pre-winter roof inspection from:** ALL PRO Roofing** ensures your shingles are secure and winter-ready.
3. Check for Signs of Leaks or Water Stains
Water stains on your ceiling or attic insulation often indicate a hidden leak. Cold weather makes roof repairs harder and more expensive—so it’s best to handle these problems before winter begins.
4. Improve Roof Ventilation
Proper attic ventilation prevents moisture buildup and helps regulate roof temperature—reducing your risk of ice dams and mold growth. Our experts can assess your current ventilation and recommend upgrades if needed.
5. Seal Flashing and Roof Penetrations
Areas around chimneys, skylights, vents, and satellite mounts are common entry points for winter leaks. Flashing should be sealed and in good condition. If it’s cracked, rusted, or loose, it should be repaired before snow arrives.
6. Remove Overhanging Branches
Heavy snow and ice can snap overhanging branches, damaging your shingles or gutters. Trim nearby trees to protect your roof and reduce debris.
