Fairfield County experiences a wide range of weather conditions throughout the year, from hot, humid summers to icy, snowy winters. While these seasonal changes add to the charm of living in the area, they can take a toll on your asphalt roof. Understanding how the weather impacts your roof and taking proactive steps can help you protect your home and extend the life of your roof. Our JM Roofing team has a complete seasonal guide for you: 

Summer Heat & UV Rays

During the summer, intense heat and UV rays can cause asphalt shingles to dry out, crack, or curl. Over time, this can weaken the shingles and reduce their effectiveness in protecting your home. To combat this, schedule regular roof inspections to identify and replace damaged shingles before they lead to leaks or other issues.

Fall Leaves & Debris

Autumn in Fairfield County brings falling leaves, which can clog gutters and create moisture buildup on your roof. This trapped moisture can lead to the growth of mold, mildew, and even rot. To prevent this, clean your gutters regularly and remove any debris from your roof to ensure proper drainage.

Winter Snow & Ice

Winters can be harsh, with heavy snow and ice posing significant risks to your roof. Ice dams, in particular, can form when heat escapes from your attic, causing snow to melt and refreeze at the edges of your roof. This can lead to water seeping under your shingles and causing leaks. Proper attic insulation and ventilation are key to preventing ice dams and protecting your roof during the colder months.

Spring Rain & Storms

Spring often brings heavy rain and storms, which can expose weak spots in your roof. Water can seep through damaged shingles or flashing, leading to leaks and water damage. Regular roof inspections and prompt repairs are crucial to maintaining your roof in optimal condition.
