While you’re embracing the new season, your roof might be facing new challenges. Winter’s snow and ice leave behind moisture-related issues that can lead to leaks, mold, and structural damage if ignored. At Century Restoration & Construction, we specialize in roofing and restoration, ensuring homes and businesses in the St. Louis area are protected from seasonal wear and tear. Our roof repair and restoration experts are here to help your property stay in shape with spring roof care.
Inspect for Winter Damage
Winter weather can take a toll on your roof, even if you didn’t notice any issues during the colder months. Snow, ice, and freezing temperatures can weaken shingles, flashing, and gutters. Look for missing or cracked shingles, sagging areas, or water stains on your ceiling. If you spot potential damage, scheduling a roof repair and restoration assessment early can save you from expensive repairs in the future.
Clean Your Gutters
Spring showers can quickly lead to water buildup if your gutters aren’t properly maintained. Clogged gutters force rainwater to overflow, which can damage your roof, siding, and foundation. Clear out leaves, twigs, and debris, and check for any sagging or detachment.
Check for Mold
Moisture and warmth create the perfect environment for mold and algae, especially on shaded areas of your roof. These growths make shingles ugly while also weakening them. If you notice dark streaks or patches, professional St. Louis cleaning and restoration services can safely remove mold without damaging your roofing materials.
Assess Attic Ventilation
Poor attic ventilation traps moisture inside your home, leading to mold, wood rot, and higher energy bills. Check for damp insulation, condensation, or a musty smell in your attic. Ventilation helps regulate temperature and moisture levels, extending the life of your roof and preventing avoidable roof repair and restoration projects.
Our team at Century Restoration & Construction knows exactly what to look for, from hidden leaks to structural weaknesses. Contact us today, and let’s keep your roof ready for whatever the season brings!
