Why Should You Prepare Your Home for Spring?
Springtime is a time for renewal. People start shedding off their winter coats and opening their homes to the warm sun. Springtime also means strong spring storms with harsh winds and heavy rains that can play havoc with your roof and gutters if you are not prepared. If winter weather has damaged your gutters and prevents water from flowing away from your home, you can expect to see increasing damage from:
- Water pouring over your gutters and staining siding, ruining gardens, and washing away soil from the foundation of your home.
- Debris is weighing your gutters down and separating from your home and damaging your roof.
- Rot and mold form on the inside of your walls from water leaking into the foundation and structure of your home.
At EC Roofing, we can help repair rain gutters and damage to your roof before spring storms hit and cause further damage. We will come out and inspect your home from top to bottom and give you a full report on what needs repairing or replacing.
Tips for Preparing Your Home Before Spring Storms Hit
If your home is relatively new or you did not have a harsh winter, you still want to follow these tips for preparing your home for spring to prevent minor problems from becoming costly repairs:
- Cleaning your gutters – Get a sturdy ladder and garden hose and test your gutters to ensure water flows properly to the downspout and your collector. Check for any debris build-up, dents, or misaligned sections.
- Inspect your roof – Check your roof for missing or discolored shingles. If you have the right safety equipment, you can check for soft or sagging spots and other hard-to-see sections of your roof. Take pictures of any damage you find to show to a roofing contractor.
- Wash exterior windows – Not only will cleaning your windows improve your view, but you can also check for damage to the window treatments. Small gaps between your window and frame can affect your heating and cooling costs.
- Check foundation vents – If your home has a basement, check any foundation vents and clear any debris from around the area.
