Protecting Your Roof and Gutters<\/b><\/h4>\n

With the end of winter and spring approaching many homeowners
\nmay be finding that the harsh winter weather has caused damage to their roof and gutters. Many people don’t give their roofs and gutters a second thought until there is a problem.<\/p>\n

Snow and ice can cause damage to roofs and gutters in many different ways. Shingles can come loose due to the contractions and expansion with the change in temperature. Ice dams<\/a> are the most common problems associated with winter roof damage. A ridge<\/span> of ice forms at the edge or valley<\/span> of a roof and prevents the melting snow behind it from draining. The water backs up behind the dam where it freezes and melts again. Eventually water seeps through a weak part of the roof, causing damage to ceilings, walls, and floors, eventually resulting in mold and mildew growth.<\/b><\/p>\n
