Don’t Let Winter Storms Wreck Your Roof​

Don’t Let Winter Storms Wreck Your Roof

Why a Post-Storm Inspection Could Save You Thousands Winter storms in the Pacific Northwest bring debris, ice, and hidden roof damage. Discover why a winter roof inspection is critical for protecting your home—and your wallet—from costly surprises.
The Cold, Hard Truth:
The Pacific Northwest averages 12+ winter storm events annually, with wind gusts often exceeding 50 mph and rainfall topping 20 inches in some areas. These storms may be beautiful, but they wreak havoc on your roof—and most of the damage goes undetected until it’s too late. Don’t Wait Until the Leak AppearsYour roof is the first line of defense against winter’s fury. Storms, wind, snow, and ice can cause invisible but severe roof damage, especially in older homes or homes surrounded by trees.Here’s the reality: What looks like a few stray branches or some minor moss might be hiding cracked shingles, damaged flashing, or the early stages of a leak.That’s why a winter roof inspection isn’t just a seasonal service; it’s an investment in your home’s safety, longevity, and value.

 What Winter Storms Do to Your Roof (That You Can’t Always See)Storm damage is often subtle and overlooked. Here’s what could be happening overhead without you knowing:
1. Debris Traps MoistureFallen branches and pine needles hold moisture against shingles, accelerating decay and moss growth.2. Ice Dams Create LeaksFreezing and thawing cycles cause ice dams, forcing water under shingles and into your attic.3. High Winds Lift or Crack ShinglesOnce lifted, even slightly, shingles are vulnerable to rain seepage and interior water damage.4. Gutter Backups Lead to OverflowClogged gutters during heavy rain can push water under roofing materials or against siding.If left unaddressed, these issues can lead to mold growth, ceiling stains, insulation damage, and costly structural repairs.
