Today we’re going to talk about one of your roof’s biggest enemies, leaves.
When leaves fall into your roof’s gutters, they act as a dam causing rainwater to back up. When the water backs up, it pushes underneath your shingles to cause damage to your roof deck. The leaves can also freeze and expand causing the gutter to warp.
Many people install screen guards to keep their gutters from clogging. However, debris can fall through the holes in the screen making it necessary to go up on the roof and blow off the leaves on a regular basis.
And even when taking these measures, heavy snow can still be an issue. The heat escaping from your roof can cause the snow to melt so icicles to form your gutter which can also cause blockages.
