Snow Removal for Roofs
With recent snow fall and freeze thaw cycles, our roof tops are accumulating significant load weights.
When considering the removal of snow contact a roofing professional contractor to determine the need and proper method for snow removal. Damage can occur when untrained workers remove snow from the roof top. Tears, punctures, abrasion, and resulting moisture migration into the substrate can create costly repair bills.
Proper snow and ice removal does not include chopping, snow blowing, chisels, or other damaging methods. Air blowers, steam, and brooms may be used. In severe accumulations of snow, a trained roofing professional can reduce the live load to the building without damage to the roof system.
