Q&A
Why does my roof in Colgate start leaking after the snow melts?
This is a very common issue here. As snow melts, water can seep under shingles, into worn flashing around chimneys or vents, or pool in areas with poor drainage or ice dams. The freeze-thaw cycle can widen small cracks. We perform a detailed inspection to pinpoint the exact entry point, which is often not directly above the interior leak you see.
How can I tell if the snow load is stressing my roof too much?
Warning signs include new or worsening sagging in the roof plane, popping or creaking sounds from the attic, doors or windows that become difficult to open, and visible cracks in interior ceilings or walls. If you notice any of these, it's important to have a professional assessment. We can evaluate the structural integrity of your roof framing and recommend solutions like reinforcement to handle our Wisconsin winters.
What's the best time for roof maintenance in our area to prevent these problems?
Late summer and early fall are ideal. This gives us time to complete any necessary repairs or preventative work—like sealing flashings, clearing gutters, and checking for loose or damaged shingles—before the heavy snow arrives. A proactive inspection and maintenance visit can help you avoid emergency leak repairs during a spring thaw.
