Comprehensive Pre-Winter Exterior Maintenance Guide ❄️
Winter weather in London brings heavy snow, ice dams, and freezing temperatures that test every part of your building's exterior. Taking time to inspect and address minor wear now prevents major water damage when freeze-thaw cycles start.
Tom Sakis and the team at Total Package Roofing And Exteriors provide comprehensive exterior care for homes, commercial offices, and cottages across London and area:
✅ Roofing & Asphalt Shingle Systems: We check for cracked or missing shingles, deteriorated rubber pipe boots, and loose flashing along valleys. Small gaps allow melting snow to back up directly under your roof deck.
✅ Attic Insulation & Ventilation: Ice dams form when trapped household heat melts roof snow, which refreezes at cold eaves. Ensuring soffit and ridge vents are clear keeps your roof deck cool and dry.
✅ Gutters, Eaves & Drainage: Trapped leaves and debris block melting snow from draining. We clean and inspect drainage paths so water flows away from your foundation instead of expanding into ice.
✅ Siding, Soffit & Fascia: We inspect vinyl, aluminum, and wood siding for loose panels, cracked caulking, or rotted fascia boards that expose your structural walls to cold drafts and moisture.
✅ Chimney & Skylight Flashing Seals: Roof penetrations handle high water volume. We inspect metal counter-flashing and sealants around chimneys and skylights to prevent hidden interior drywall leaks.
✅ Emergency & Spot Repairs: If recent wind or storms lifted shingles, getting quick spot repairs done before freezing weather protects your insulation and interior ceiling drywall.
Serving London and surrounding areas since 2019, Total Package Roofing And Exteriors is fully licensed and insured.
