If you’ve lived in Ohio long enough, you know how quickly our “crisp fall mornings” turn into “ice on the windshield.”
Winter has already shown up in Ohio, but there’s still time to check your roof and gutters before the deep freeze sets in.
Here’s what you can look for now to save you from leaks, ice dams, and surprise repairs later.
Even if you cleaned them a few weeks ago, take another look. Leaves, twigs, and shingle grit build up fast this time of year and once they freeze, they’re nearly impossible to move.
Clogged gutters push melting snow under shingles and down siding. Clear them out and check downspout flow. If your gutters are worn, or you’re done climbing ladders, take a look at our gutter replacement and gutter guard options.
Ohio’s fall storms can loosen shingles or flashing without you noticing. A single lifted corner is all it takes for melting snow to creep in.
Take a quick look from the ground. If something catches your eye, let us handle the climbing. Campo Roof can inspect safely, patch trouble spots, and make sure your roof is winter-ready.
Even clean gutters can cause trouble if they’re sagging or tilted the wrong way.
When trapped water freezes, the extra weight can pull them loose or crack the fascia boards underneath.
Make sure gutters are snug against the roofline and sloping gently toward the downspouts. A quick fix now can prevent a full replacement later.
Your attic is like a window into your roof’s health. Check for damp insulation, dark stains, or sunlight peeking through, these are all signs of leaks.
While you’re there, look for good airflow. Poor ventilation traps warm air, melting roof snow unevenly and creating ice dams.
Think of it as a winter tune-up for your home.
A professional can find things you won’t, cracked flashing, weak sealant, or tiny leaks, well before winter turns them into bigger problems.
