Do you know why is important to remove snow from your roof?
As a company it is important for us to provide information to our customers to learn about the importance of taking care of their roofs, especially more in the winter season, This is why here we give you 4 factors that affect the state of your roof this winter.
01
The weight
02
Sings of pressure on the roof
03
Damage by ice dams
04
Condensation in your attic
The weight of snow on the roof can cause multiple problems that can lead to costly damage. Generally, the weight of freshly fallen snow is 3.59 pounds per cubic foot. However, wet snow is much heavier and there is a greater risk of roof damage.
It is important to recognize signs of pressure and the risk of damage to the roof. The combination of new and old snow can easily exceed the load capacity. Snow that is melting often freezes again. As it melts, excess snow can also create ice dam damage and can ruin the interior of your home bellow the eaves line.
Excessive snow on the roof, condensation in the attic and ice build-up can result in water damage, roof damage and personal injury. Although it may be quite easy to stop a water leak or repair a washing machine hose, snow on the roof, ice dams and condensation in the attic are water damage to homes usually in cold climates, damage that is a little more complicated and difficult to solve.
Condensation of water vapor on cold surfaces can cause wood to rot, resulting in costly repairs. Condensation in the attic usually occurs when hot, moist air is moved or directed into the attic from the living spaces bellow. Research indicates that unusually high humidity in living areas of dwellings is closely related to problems of condensation in the attic.
It is for these reasons that we offer this new service to you, to guarantee the protection of your home, your safety and that of your family.
