Ice and snow pose significant threats to your roof, primarily due to the potential
for ice dams to form. As snow accumulates on the roof, it can create an insulating layer, causing uneven melting and refreezing. Removing snow and ice from a roof is very different from shoveling a driveway. If you are not careful, not only will you damage your roof but your personal safety will also be tested. It is extremely dangerous to climb onto the roof without having all the safety precautions intact and the danger triples during the winter months due to snow, ice and wind.
Snow & ice removal should only be performed by experienced and professional rooftop snow/ice removers. Trust Acres Roofing for thorough and reliable rooftop ice and snow removal services, ensuring your home remains secure and well-protected throughout the winter months. Snow, in small doses, generally does not cause any harm to a well maintained roof. However, when snow accumulates, either over several days of light snow or one heavy snowstorm, the added weight from the snow load may cause a roof to buckle or even collapse. Add the numerous freeze-thaw cycles we experience, ice damming becomes an added concern. If you experienced ice damming in previous winters, chances are, the problem will reoccur. The best insurance to ensure the integrity of your roof stays intact is to be proactive and remove the elements (snow and/or ice) from your sloped or flat roof before it becomes a problem.
