Before we know it, the first snowfall will hit the northeast. If you live on the east coast, you know how much damage can occur when a blizzard occurs. What all homeowners should do before snow is in the forecast is learn about how snow can affect your home and your roof. At Landmark Exteriors, we know that snow can be problematic for your roof, which is why we\u2019ve put together a short list of the three ways snow can wreak havoc on it:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-94 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.landmarkexteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/iStock_35593844_MEDIUM-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"How Snow Can Damage Your Roof | Roofing Companies Fairfield County | Greenwich | Darien\" width=\"840\" height=\"559\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.landmarkexteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/iStock_35593844_MEDIUM-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.landmarkexteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/iStock_35593844_MEDIUM-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.landmarkexteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/iStock_35593844_MEDIUM-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.landmarkexteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/iStock_35593844_MEDIUM-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.landmarkexteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/iStock_35593844_MEDIUM.jpg 1697w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Leaks<\/strong><br \/>\nBe cautious if you have a flat roof or skylight, as water can easily accumulate if your drains aren\u2019t working. And when condensation on the inside can\u2019t escape your skylight, it could leak. This is why it is so important to remove the snow carefully once the weather calms down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clogged Gutters<\/strong><br \/>\nOnce snow turns to ice, it\u2019s almost impossible to remove without causing damage. Make sure you remove the snow before it freezes up. This will prevent a likely need for gutter repair.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Structural Damage<\/strong><br \/>\nYour roof is strong &#8211; sturdy enough to withstand heavy rainfalls and winds. But one thing it cannot do is bear the weight of inches and inches of snowfall. Of course, every roof is different, but do you want to take the risk? Find out how much snow you roof can handle to make the best judgement for your home.<\/p>\n<p>What it all comes down to is knowing what your roof can handle and what it cannot. To help you eliminate the odds of leaks and structural damage this winter, turn to Landmark Exteriors for our Home Care services. Our services include roof inspection and repair, gutter repair, snow guard installation, and ice damming &#8211; everything you need to keep your roof in excellent condition.
