Winter in the Greater St. Louis area can be harsh on roofs. Snow accumulation, ice dams, and fluctuating temperatures can accelerate wear and cause leaks or structural damage. Preparing your roof in November can prevent these problems.
Ice dams form when heat escapes from your attic, melting snow that refreezes at the roof edge. This can trap water under shingles, leading to leaks. A properly ventilated and insulated attic helps reduce this risk.
Moisture can seep into minor cracks and damage roofing materials. Removing debris and inspecting for vulnerable areas before winter ensures water doesn’t infiltrate your roof system.
Bade Tip: Removing leaves and debris from your roof in November helps prevent ice dams and moisture buildup.
