How Do Rathdrum Winters Affect Your Roof?
Snow is the big one. The city's climate figures put Rathdrum at about 2,211 feet with about 38.4 inches of snow a year, roughly half again the U.S. average, and the city notes that snowfall can vary widely from year to year.
Snow and ice dams
Heat escaping into the attic melts roof snow that refreezes at the eaves. See our ice dam guide for prevention and repair.
Wind damage
Windstorms lift and crease shingles, often where you can't see it from the ground. A free inspection finds it.
Pine needles and moss
Needles pack into gutters and valleys, and shaded slopes grow moss. See our gutter cleaning guide for what to check.
