Snow Damage

Although snow is a common weather phenomenon, most people are not aware of the damage it can cause on roofs if it’s not removed. Snowy roofs often cause large ridges of ice or ice dams at the edge of roofs or gutters. When this happens, melting snow water cannot run off the roof and ends up backing up and causing leaks.

That’s why the proper monitoring of your roof after a snowstorm is critical. Ensure that you remove all snow on your roof after a storm. If ice dams have already formed, call a roofing expert to perform a steam removal—that’s crucial so as to avoid any damage to your roof.
