Getting a leak during a warm spell feels backwards.
But it’s exactly what’s happening across the region right now.
If you own a low-slope roof, or any roof with poor drainage, now is the time to check your roof edges and penetrations for signs of ice damming and water buildup.
✔ Check for ice buildup around vents, skylights, and edges
✔ If safe to do so, shovel off heavy snow
✔ Let the wind and mild temps help dry it out while you still can
We’re seeing the same issue over and over again.
Snow melts, runs into blocked eaves or ice dams, then backs up under the shingles and into the home.
If it’s safe to do so, clear the snow before the next freeze hits.
Let the warm air and wind dry things out while you still have the chance.
One good check today can save you from a major headache next week.
