Can My Roof Hold Santa & His Sleigh?

To ensure a successful landing and departure, here’s a roof maintenance checklist:

Do a quick scan of your roof and framing.Are there any missing or popped shingles?Are there any areas that are sagging or uneven that might need a closer look from a professional? 

Check that chimney! (After all … Santa has to have a way to make his grand entrance!)Are there any cracks in the mortar?Bricks out of place, needing some tuck-pointing?Not related to the exterior … but this is a good time to be thinking about if that chimney needs a good cleaning, too! Check your gutters.Remove any leaves, branches, or other debris that might be clogging the gutters.Ensure gutters are properly attached to the roof line. 

Also, monitor your roof for ice dams as they may indicate a bigger problem. Typically, ice dams are caused by ventilation and insulation issues. For example, warm air coming up from the attic through a poorly insulated roof can cause snow to melt, then that water freezes in cooler, better-insulated points. Ice dams can greatly weigh on your roof and gutters. In fact, in extreme cases, water frozen in clogged gutters can weigh them down so much they break free from the house and crash to the ground, sometimes causing property damage in the process. Plus, all this water has to have somewhere to go – meaning you could end up with water leaks inside your home. Moral of the story: if you have ice dams, try to pinpoint the cause – and call a restoration or roofing company for help!  If you find there are problems with any of these areas! Give us a call! We have special tools and technology that can help pinpoint any insulation problems, water leaks, etc., to get your roof … and home … in tip top shape for Santa’s arrival!
