Mother
nature has dumped nearly 6 feet of snow on much of New England over the
past three weeks and now, to add insult to injury, there rain in the
forecast. Rain is a threat to the snow packed roofs which will soak up
the moisture and possibly cause roofs to buckle under the added weight.
What should a home or business owner do to ward off a roof collapse and further damage from ice dam build up?
Home or business owners with a flat roof or a slightly pitched roof
should make every effort to remove the snow weight prior to the warmer
temperatures and precipitation. Whether you invest in a roof rake or
enlist the help of a professional to handle the job, it is imperative
that the snow pack be removed. Insurance claims have been piling up and
contractors are preparing for a busy spring season. It is wiser to spare
the later expense and effort by being proactive.
