Philadelphia’s winters can be rough on flat roofs and exterior surfaces. Snow, ice, and freeze-thaw cycles put added pressure on roofing materials, flashing, and gutters. Taking care of your roof before peak winter conditions can save you from costly water damage inside your home.
Why a Pre-Winter Roof Check Matters
Small issues turn into big problems when temperatures drop. We often find:
- Cracks in the roof surface that let water in
- Loose or failing flashing around chimneys, walls, and skylights
- Clogged gutters that cause water to back up under the roof edge
- Soft spots or ponding areas on flat roofs
Our team at Philly Roofing & Exterior Services specializes in flat roof repair in Philadelphia and can quickly identify weak points before they lead to leaks.
