As summer comes to an end and cooler weather moves in, it’s the perfect time to make sure your roof is ready for the months ahead. At T2 Roofing, we’ve helped hundreds of South Dakota homeowners prepare their homes for the changing seasons. September is one of the best times of year to schedule a roof inspection and get ahead of potential issues before winter weather sets in.
Why Fall Roof Maintenance Matters
South Dakota winters can be hard on roofs. Snow, ice dams, and high winds can expose even small weaknesses that go unnoticed during summer. By catching and fixing problems now, you can prevent leaks, attic damage, and costly repairs later.
5 Key Roof Maintenance Tips for Fall
1. Inspect shingles and flashing.
Look for cracked, curled, or missing shingles. Check flashing around chimneys, skylights, and vents to ensure it’s tightly sealed.
2. Clean gutters and downspouts.
Remove leaves and debris so water can flow freely. Clogged gutters can cause water to back up under shingles or freeze during cold spells.
3. Check attic ventilation.
Proper ventilation prevents heat and moisture buildup, which can lead to ice dams or mold.
4. Trim back trees and branches.
Overhanging limbs can scrape shingles or fall during storms. Keeping them trimmed helps protect your roof surface.
5. Schedule a professional inspection.
Even if your roof looks fine from the ground, a trained roofing expert can spot early warning signs that homeowners often miss.
