Lakewood, CO Roof Winterization and Leak Prevention: Seasonal Maintenance Updates

In Colorado’s climate, it’s important for homeowners to get regular, thorough inspections of their residential roofing, to ensure that no leaks have developed due to the changing temperatures. A new report from Apex Restoration & Roofing highlights how these rapidly changing temperatures affect different types of roofing, and how homeowners can be prepared.

Residential roofing systems are generally rated to last between 15 and 70 years, but how long they actually last depends on the local climate, and how well they are cared for. Apex Restoration & Roofing works to keep every client’s roof in peak condition, which can help them to last up to, or beyond, their rated lifespans, even in winter conditions.

In areas where the temperatures are known to fluctuate rapidly, such as Colorado, residential roofing systems are prone to developing small complications that can turn into damaging leaks if left uncorrected. Experts suggest that the best defense is regularly scheduled inspections by a professional, followed by prompt repairs of minor problems.

Homeowners are encouraged to schedule two inspections per year, one in the fall and one in the spring, to allow an Apex Restoration & Roofing specialist time to provide and then remove any needed winterization. Although winterization steps can vary from house to house, this may include changes to drainage solutions, additional insulation, or creating a plan to deal with heavy snow loads.

While experts recommend that all roof assessments, inspections and repairs should be done long before a leak develops, the company also provides an always-available emergency service, in case of serious problems such as leaking, obvious damage, or ice build-up. In the event that a roof is a cause for concern, homeowners can use the Apex Restoration & Roofing 24/7 Leak Line to talk to a specialist right away, or to access emergency patch and repair services.

An excerpt from the company’s full report explains, “As the temperature swings, your roof shingles experience an ecclesiastic dance, expanding under the sun’s intense passion, then contracting during the frosty moonlit stint. Over time, this constant interplay leads to weakening of the roofing materials, making them susceptible to cracks and loosening.”
