3. Keep your gutters clean.
Your gutters are much more important than you might think because they give rainwater and melted snow and ice a safe way to leave your roof. However, those beautiful fall leaves and other debris can build up in your gutters over time, preventing them from doing their job. If your gutters are clogged, it increases the likelihood of roof leaks and other issues, so it’s important to stay on top of cleaning your gutters throughout the fall and right before winter hits.
4. Inspect the flashings.
The flashings, located around your chimney and the other projections on your roof, help to keep rain, as well as melting snow and ice, from leaking into your roof and into your home. These flashings can dry out or become cracked or damaged over time, and it’s essential to make sure that they are in good shape before the winter comes. Fix or replace any damaged flashings.
