It’s that time of year again. The snow and ice are piling up and your roof is doing its best to keep you and your family warm and dry. That’s where Trudel Roofing comes in!
The benefits of keeping the snow and ice off your roof are numerous but the two main concerns are ice dams and damage caused by excess weight.
Prevent Ice Dams
Ice dams form when warmth escapes your attic due to poor insulation or ventilation. This causes rooftop snow to melt and then refreeze near the eavestrough, potentially damaging shingles and eavestroughs. Clearing snow before it accumulates reduces the risk of ice dams forming.
Reduce Excess Weight
Rooves are designed to be able to withstand our weather, however excess weight due to snow and ice can have devastating consequences. 1 cubic foot of ice can weigh 57 lbs, making ice dams a real threat to your roof and joists’ integrity. Depending on your roof you may want to think about removing snow after 6 – 12 inches of snow have accumulated.
The task of removing snow and ice from your roof can be a dangerous one, so why not leave it up to the trained and insured professionals?
