Snow


 

Precipitation in the form of snow causes two problems to properties:

  1. It can be very heavy and result in the collapse of a building roof. There are ways that this problem can be addressed and prevented:
    • Check the structure of your buildings to determine if the roofe, walls and foundations are solid, well-maintained and able to support the amount of snow that can fall.
    • Make sure that there is not a large buildup of snow on the roof. Contractors can be hired, if necessary, to perform this work.
  2. When snow melts and freezees on your roof, it blocks the flow of water into the eaves trough with the result that the water gets under the shingles and leaks into your house. Make sure that the roof area at the eaves trough is kept free from a buildup of ice and snow.
