Protecting Your Roof from Winter Weather

Roofing

As temperatures drop, the threat of winter weather, snow and ice looms. Keep the safety of your building in mind. If you suspect the roof on your building has any issues or potential issues, now is the time to have it checked out. The roof is meant to protect your building; however any small damages, cracks, or faults can lead to major problems down the road if left untreated during winter weather.

Snow looks fluffy and weightless. But as it accumulates on a surface, such as a roof, it gets extremely heavy. The constant weight bearing down on a compromised structure can cause severe damages, even a collapsed roof. At Geissler Roofing, we want to help you avoid this threat. We offer inspections to ensure you go into the winter season properly protected.

Ice isn’t fun to deal with on the roads, and it is hazardous to the structure of your roof as well. As ice builds up, it blocks water from draining and can force water under the roof. Similarly, as the snow melts it causes additional moisture. Any moisture that seeps under the roof can cause damage to interior structures, such as walls, and also potentially cause flooding.
