  • Remove Roof Debris Before the Snow FallsRemember that the branches above your home will drop leaves onto your roof. Large
    amounts of leaves and other debris will collect in overhangs and clog your gutters. Hire a
    professional to clean your roof and gutters, because it´s a risky job and you shouldn´t do it
    by yourself if you don´t know what you are doing. You’ll thank yourself later when your
    gutters aren’t clogged with leaves and snow.
  • Keep Your Gutters CleanClean gutters and drainpipes help drain the water from your roof as snow and ice melt. If
    water collects in your gutters, it can pose a serious problem as the temperatures dip
    overnight. Clogged gutters lead to ice damming in your downspouts and gutters. Ice dams
    keep constant moisture around your home. Standing water can damage your home’s
    siding and foundation.
  • Hire a Tree TrimmerRemove the dead branches around your home. It is particularly important to address the
    trees with branches near your roof. Heavy snow falls or ice storms can break branches
    and damage the physical structure or your home and roof.
  • Inspect Your RoofAvoid climbing on your roof during the winter months. Ice and snow can make your roof
    slippery and dangerous. Instead, walk around the outside of your home and look for visible
    sagging. Also, hire a pro to perform a roof inspection if you notice any problems or issues
    with your roof.
  • Clear Snow From Your RoofRemove any snow within four feet of your drains and gutters to improve your drainage.
    Roof rakes are a handy tool for clearing snow from your roof. Call a professional to tackle
    your snow removal if you have too much snow for a rake, or you are unsure about doing it
    yourself.

In Conclusion
There are a lot of things you can do to keep your roof safe this winter, and you must take
care of them. Being proactive is a great start as always. But in most cases, contacting a
professional with the right tools and safety equipment, as well as expertise, is the best way
to ensure a healthy roof and avoiding unnecessary dangers.
