Winter can weigh heavily on your home — and your roof. When significant storms pass through your area, snow and ice build-up might potentially create ice dams, leading to collapse. Our professional roof snow removal services take the load off your roof and your mind.
Ice dams are ridges of ice that form at the edge of your roof and prevent melting snow from properly draining away. Water and snow build up behind this dam and can cause water to leak into your house and damage your walls and ceilings. If they become large enough, they can break off and significantly damage your roof or hurt someone who might be underneath.
If snow is not removed promptly after a storm, it can cause the roof to collapse or sink under the weight. If not removed, it can also promote the creation of ice dams, causing the situation to become more dangerous. The snow should be cleared quickly, so it doesn’t continue to build layers, making it more difficult to remove.
Asphalt roofing is more prone to such damage. Not only is snow and ice more likely to stack up on this material, but they can also tear off sections of the shingles if not removed in a careful and timely fashion. Metal roofing has fewer issues during the winter since the snow has more difficulty accumulating on its surface.
You can only prepare so much for a snowstorm, so knowing that Woodland has you covered can put your mind at ease. Clearing your roof of snow and ice can be a dangerous endeavor without the proper training. Having a professional take care of your roof is essential for your safety and the safety of your home.
