The BC Interior experiences some of the most demanding weather conditions in the province. From hot, dry summers to heavy snowfall and repeated freeze-thaw cycles in winter, your roof absorbs constant stress year after year. Understanding how local weather affects your roofing system can help you prevent costly damage and extend the life of your roof.
Winter Snow, Ice & Freeze-Thaw Damage
Snow accumulation and ice buildup are typical in our BC Interior winters, particularly at higher elevations. As snow melts during the day and refreezes overnight, moisture can seep into small cracks and expand, leading to leaks, lifted shingles, and added structural stress. Ice dams along roof edges can also force water back under roofing materials when drainage isn’t working properly, increasing the risk of interior water damage.
Summer Heat, UV Exposure & Material Breakdown
Prolonged heat and intense UV exposure during our Penticton and Southern Okanagan summers can cause roofing materials to dry out, warp, or crack. Asphalt shingles may lose protective granules, while flat roofing membranes can weaken over time if they aren’t properly installed or maintained. Proper attic ventilation plays a critical role in regulating roof temperatures and reducing heat-related wear.
Wind, Rain & Sudden Storms
Strong winds and sudden storms can loosen flashing, lift shingles, and expose vulnerable areas of your roof. Driving rain can quickly penetrate small problem areas, turning minor wear into major repairs if left unaddressed.
