One problem that homeowners need to be concerned about as
the temperatures start to drop and snow starts to fall is their roofs. While the
roof of a home is structurally designed so that most snow falls right off as it
starts to fall, there will be times where there is a large of amount of snow accumulation
that just seems to stick around. To prevent your roof from being overloaded
with weigh from the snow, here are some things you can do.
- Keep your roof and deck clean and clear of snow and ice. Depending on the weather, this may or may not be an easy feat to accomplish.
- Use a roof rake to remove any accumulated snow and ice from your roof. This option gives homeowners the most control because of affordability; however, it may not be the best solution for homeowners who have large homes.
- Rake the snow in inches from the top of your home. Don’t drag the rake or you risk damaging your shingles.
- Be mindful and extremely cautious about any electrical or metal components on the rooftop. If your rake comes in contact with anything metal and electrical based, you could n up in the hospital.
- Remove icicles by knocking them down with a broom. Watch your head and be careful so that they don’t fall on you.
- Always wear protective clothing and headgear.
