Well-installed roofs should not pose any problems withstanding snow during the cold season. However, in some cases, you may need to call a professional roofer to remove the heavy snow from your roof this winter.
The fact is, it is not about the amount of the snow on your roof, it is about the weight, and whether it puts excessive pressure on your roofing system. In other words, it is the icy, heavy type of snow that homeowners should be concerned about. You can determine if snow is heavy simply by shoveling your walkway or driveway.
In case your roof is pressured by excessively heavy snow, this may lead to ice dams, damage at the structural level, and even to collapse of your roofing system.
There are certain warning signs which can help you determine how much snowfalls have impacted your roof. For instance, cracks in the wall or severe roof leaks are clear indicators that your roof has been damaged. At the same time, you may notice that the doors on your interior walls have begun to pop open. Sounds of popping, cracking or creaking are yet some other signs that you may need to call on the Mile High Roofing Services experts.
