The Blizzard of 2015 is now burying New England with 2 1/2 to 3 feet
of snow. That’s a lot of weight for your roof to bear! Olympic Roofing

Snow Removal:
Having a snow-free roof is crucial for preventing ice dams from
developing underneath the snow. These ice dams ultimately cause leaking
and other costly damages to both the interior and exterior of any house.
It is also very important to remove excess weight off your roof. Just
one foot of snow on your roof is equivalent to thousands of pounds of
pressure. Leaving snow on your roof for an extended period can weaken
your roof, and even cause cave-ins, which results in thousands of
dollars in repairs. So don’t wait until it’s too late this year!
Ice Dams:
Ice dams are an unwelcome winter roofing problem brought on by a
combination of inadequate roof ventilation and a warm attic space. When
ice dams are left untreated they can cause significant damage to a home
undermining the roof, gutters, paint, insulation and drywall.
