Why do I need to get the snow removed from my roof?
The main reason you want to prevent the snow from building up on your roof is because it is crucial for preventing ice damns from forming on your roof. Ice dams can’t form without snow. If you're able to prevent ice dams, you’re far more likely to prevent your roof from leaking and damaging the inside of your home.
It is also important to get all the snow off of your roof to get the excess weight off. As a rule of thumb, one square-foot of snow that’s one-inch in depth weighs about a pound. If your roof has 12 inches of snow on it, that could easily amount to thousands of pounds of stress on your roof.
Help to minimize the stress placed on your home roof is a great way to prevent any leaks or cave-in top your roof this winter season.
