Snow/Ice-maggedon
How freeze/that cycles can affect your roof:
- Ice Dams - These are blocks of ice that form at your roof’s edge and prevent water from draining properly. Ice dams can also damage or wrench gutters out of place, exacerbating the issue. When water builds up behind the ice dam and then freezes, it creates pressure that can cause your roof to leak, potentially damaging your home’s ceilings, walls, and insulation.
-Weakened Roofing Materials
The longer the cycle of freezing and thawing, the worse the damage to your roof and home can get. During early winter and late spring, the weather can change quickly, with warm, sunny days dropping to cold overnight temperatures. This can manifest in all parts of your roof, leading to cracked singles, membranes, or flashing as well as ponding water in gutters and decking.
-Mold and Mildew
The freeze-thaw cycle can also lead to mold and mildew growth under your shingles and inside your home.
Keep your eyes on ceilings and outside walls for signs of leaks!!
