There’s nothing like a beautiful snowfall during the winter season! While it’s undoubtedly an incredible site, lots of snow and ice falling on your roof with nowhere to go can for sure be a nightmare. We’re here to help you be prepared before more snow falls, so you can ensure your roof is well-protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at all the ways snow and ice can negatively impact your roof and home, so you know to be cautious:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Roof Stress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Snow and ice don’t run easily off of your roof as rain does. The added weight and pressure from built-up snow and ice, especially in back to back snowstorms, can cause severe stress and potential damage to your roof. In a worst-case scenario, part of the roof can collapse. Take a look inside at your ceilings to spot any signs of stress such as leaks, tiles falling, etc., and call a professional<\/a> if you have any concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ice Dams<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If there is enough ice accumulating on the roof, ice dams can form. Ice dams are created from ice and snow melting and flowing down off of the roof and then freezing again right at the edge. Not only can this cause water damage, but ice dams could also potentially destroy your gutters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Freeze and Thaw Cycle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As the snow and ice thaw and then freeze, often in a repeated cycle, damage can happen quickly. The melted water seeps into any cracks, and then, when the water freezes, those cracks will widen and cause more damage and possibly lead to mold and mildew developing in your living areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Icicles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While they may be pretty to look at, those icicles hanging off the sides of your roof can be hazardous. Not only do you have to worry about one falling on you unexpectedly, but forming icicles can be a sign that you have more significant problems at hand, including gutter blockages and roof damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Damage From Roof Snow Removal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Having snow removed from a roof<\/a> is often a necessary step in protecting your home during a heavy snow season, but this is no easy task. Since it’s easy to remove shingles accidentally, make holes or cracks in the roof during removal, it’s best to call in a professional<\/a> to do the job correctly and safely.
