Every winter, somewhere in the US, people are hurt and even killed by snow falling from a roof. That’s because, as the sun heats the roof, the underside of the snow begins to melt. That will allow the snow to slide down the roof, and a slamming door or other disturbance can cause the snow to slide off suddenly. If it is a large enough volume of snow, a heavy enough deposit, or a hard enough amount (melted and refrozen), it can cause serious injury or even death.
There are also countless cases of partial or complete roof collapses from too much snow sitting on the roof. This is an especially common problem on older structures or structures with roofs that aren’t pitched (angled) enough to make the snow fall off. The weight of the snow can build and build until it becomes too much for the roof to bear, and it will collapse inward. If the collapse is bad enough, it could make your home or business location unusable, just when you need it most.
To avoid both of these outcomes, it’s imperative to have the snow regularly removed from your roof. Snow removal experts like the crews at Snow Removal Rochester are specially trained to get the snow down safely and efficiently with minimum risk to people, pets, or property.
