What to do when your Toronto home requires roofing repairs during winter

There are many reasons why roofing problems may occur. Our roofs are vulnerable to weather conditions, such as snow and freezing in the winter and fierce winds and thunderstorms during the summer. Many homeowners are misled into believing that their roofs can be repaired if they are damaged in the winter.

But this is false

Most roofing repairs can still be made in winter. Although the freezing cold might not be the best or most convenient for roof repairs roofing is a 24/7 trade. Even during winter, roofers are often busy.

It is important to not allow roofing problems to fester. For instance, roofs may become damaged or missing after a windy storm. This is a common problem. A roofing professional should replace them as soon possible to prevent leakage or more costly repairs. Melted snow can cause roof damage that may not be caused by regular rain in the spring.

Many homeowners experience ice dams in the winter. When snow melts and runs down a roof, it forms ice dams. Don't let the romantic image of icicles suspended from a roof foolyou. Ice dams are a problem that can cause water to build up under shingles and cause damage and deterioration to walls and roof structures. Water stains or mould may be found in the drywall between the ceiling and walls of your home. If you are concerned about ice dams in your home, it is best to act quickly and take preventative measures to avoid snowfall. It is essential to address any ventilation and insulation issues in your roof with a reliable roofer. However, if your roof is already damaged or leaking, a professional roofing company can help to remove the ice dams.
