Winter has already arrived, but there are some important things to do at the dacha that need to be completed.

It is very important to pay attention to the roof so that the room remains warm and dry.

An experienced summer resident knows that in winter the load on the roof increases significantly.

Let's see what activities need to be carried out in order to prepare the roof of the house for winter.

How to care for the roof of a house?

You need to do the following:

  1. Inspect the roof for defects, as they may crack in the winter.
  2. Remove all debris - branches, leaves, moss, etc.
  3. Wash the roof with a brush - be sure to remove moss, as it will cause the roof to wear out faster.
  4. Clean the gutters, otherwise in the spring the water will flow off the roof in the wrong direction.
  5. Remove snow from the roof from time to time with a shovel or a special vacuum cleaner.
  6. Remove all unnecessary items from the attic and tidy it up.
  7. Clean your chimney whether or not you will be heating your home.
