Looking out at a snowy landscape can be nice, but the effects of snow on your property can be anything but. Snow on your rooftop in particular can cause much more harm than you may have realized. That’s why rooftop snow removal services are so important for protecting your property.
Snow resting on top of your roof may not seem like a big deal, but the truth is that all the additional weight that the snow adds on top of your home can take its toll, especially after heavy snowfall. The longer this weight rests on your roof, the more likely it is to cause a leak or even a cave-in depending on how much snow has fallen and for how long it is permitted to linger. Rooftop snow removal helps prevent these issues by removing all the excess weight that the snow is adding.
Ice dams are another concern that comes with resting snow. They’re the result of snow melting and refreezing on your roof, which can cause water to seep under your shingles and potentially cause a leak. You can help prevent ice dams by checking weather forecasts and prioritizing rooftop snow removal when the potential for ice dam formation increases.
Like any other service relating to your roof, it’s important to leave rooftop snow removal to the professionals. The snow removal process involves a certain amount of risk of snow falling on top of you or otherwise getting injured while trying to clear the roof.
