Albany Roof Snow Removal Service
Snow removal for your Albany home
Residents in our cold climates know that built up snow on the roof can be a major problem. That is why you need Albany Roof Snow Removal Service for your home. Wet snow especially is very heavy and can eventually collapse your roof. If the snow builds up too much and there is danger of damage, it is best to call a roofing contractor to clear it off. Ice can be even more dangerous. If you had 3 inches of ice on your roof that would amount to about 15 pounds per square foot pushing down on your house. Added up over the whole roof, and you are asking your frame to support thousands or tens of thousands of more pounds of weight.
Snow can be deceptive because the water content is hard to determine. Dry snow is less than 5% water, while wet heavy snow may be more than a third water. This water sitting on the roof can damage it from weight and accumulated water damage. Wood shake shingles and flat roofs especially are vulnerable to water. The best thing to do is have our trained prfoessionals remove the snoe for you. As winter comes along accumulated snow will compress. So there will be more weight on your roof even when the amount of snow looks like it lessened.
