Ways to Prepare for Winter
Clean Gutters and Add Gutter Guards
Clean gutters allow water to easily flow down from your rooftops and away from your home, preventing damage to your foundation and ice buildup on your roof. Installing gutter guards is a great way to prevent a buildup of leaves and other debris in your gutters.
Install Heating Cables
Roof heating cables will help you avoid long-term damage caused by freezing and ice build-up. Before installing the cables make sure your eavestroughs and roof have been cleaned thoroughly. Affix roof cable clips to your roof in a zigzag pattern. Finally, attach and secure your heating cable to the clips.
