Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if my Oconomowoc roof is stressed from heavy snow?
Signs of snow load stress include visible sagging along the roofline, new or worsening cracks in interior ceilings or walls, doors that suddenly stick, and unusual creaking sounds. In our area, it's crucial to have a professional inspection after significant snowfall. REB Exteriors can assess the structural integrity of your roof and framing to determine if reinforcements or repairs are needed to prevent a potential collapse.
What causes ice dams on my gutters, and how can a roofer fix them?
Ice dams form when heat escapes from your attic, melting snow on the upper roof. The water refreezes at the colder eaves and gutters, creating a blockage. This ice can force water under your shingles, leading to leaks. The solution isn't just removing ice; it's addressing the root cause. We improve attic insulation and ventilation to maintain a consistent roof temperature and ensure your gutter system is properly installed and clear to handle meltwater, preventing future blockages and water damage.
What preventative maintenance should I do before winter to avoid these problems?
Before Wisconsin winter sets in, we recommend a professional roof and gutter inspection. We'll clear all debris from gutters and downspouts to ensure proper drainage, check for loose or damaged shingles that need repair, and assess your attic's insulation and ventilation. This proactive approach helps prevent ice dams by keeping your roof cold and allows your structure to better handle snow accumulation, saving you from emergency repairs during the season.
