Prepare Your Roof for Winter
Winter is on the horizon, and preparation is key to ensuring your roof can withstand the harsh Ohio weather. At Triple Peaks Roofing & Construction, we understand the importance of a well maintained roof during the winter months. Here are some essential steps to get your roof ready for the cold season.
Ventilation: The Backbone of a Healthy Roof
Proper ventilation is crucial for your roof to perform optimally during winter. Ensuring that your ventilation system meets and ideally exceeds Ohio building codes can significantly improve your roof’s durability.
- Check Your Soffits: Ensure they are open and vented correctly.
- Insulation Levels: Make sure insulation isn’t packed too tightly against the roof deck.
Adequate space allows your roof to breathe, preventing various issues. - Exhaust System: Verify that your exhaust is functioning correctly to promote a balanced
temperature.
Avoid Ice Dams
Ice dams are a common affliction during Ohio winters, caused by poor ventilation and heat loss.
- Heat Loss Prevention: To minimize the risk of ice dams, it’s essential to prevent heat loss.
Your roof should maintain the same temperature as the outside environment. - Uniform Melt Patterns: A well-ventilated roof will have an even melt pattern. Uneven melting
is a clear sign of heat loss and potential problems.
