Preparing your roof before winter freezing weather arrives prevents costly emergency ice dam leaks.
Our maintenance team at Pittsburgh Roofing Specialists recommends completing these 4 autumn steps.
Autumn Pre-Winter Checklist
- Clean Gutters & Downspouts: Remove fallen leaves and pine needles to ensure clear drainage.
- Inspect Pipe Boot Rubber Collars: Replace sun-cracked rubber boots before freezing water expands fractures.
- Trim Overhanging Tree Branches: Prevent heavy snow-laden limbs from breaking onto roof slopes.
