The winter in New Jersey can take a toll on your roof, however, the good news is we are providing some useful tips to prepare your roof system (including gutters and attic) for the upcoming winter months.
1.Check your roof shingles
Fall is the time to check your roof shingles. In case there is any broken or misplaced shingles, it should be replaced since there is a high chance that snow and ice will cause further damage to your roof.
2.Check your roof flashing
Roof flashing is the material that is used around roof edges where two uneven surfaces are connected together in order to prevent water from seeping into your house. Faulty or damaged roof flashing installation is a major cause of leaky roofs in New Jersey.
3.Get rid of hanging tree limbs
The lingering branches from the tree that happen to raid over your house should also be checked while checking the roof. The branches could sag due to the snow’s weight which could cause trouble for your roof. Hence, if possible, remove those branches.
4.Remove debris from your gutters
Don’t forget to clean your gutter while taking care of your roof. Debris from trees, together with branches and leaves, needs to be cleared from gutters to relieve any clogs.
Roofs should be inspected by a trusted roofer to check for any weak spots. If the climates become terrible, the snow and ice could be capable of tearing a hole within your roof due to the weak spot.
