Winter in the Treasure Valley brings beautiful snowy landscapes, but that snow can quickly become a problem when it piles up on your roof. While your roof is built to handle the elements, excessive snow and ice can cause significant damage if left unaddressed. At Hawaiian Built Roofing, we’re here to ensure your home stays safe and sound through the cold months with professional snow and ice removal services.
1. Why Removing Snow from Your Roof Matters
When snow accumulates on your roof, it creates more than just an aesthetic concern:
- Excessive Weight: A heavy snow load can strain your roof, potentially leading to sagging or even collapse in extreme cases.
- Water Damage: Melting snow can refreeze at night, causing water to seep under shingles and lead to leaks or structural damage.
- Ice Dams: Improper snow removal can result in ice dams, which are a significant hazard during winter.
2. What Are Ice Dams?
Ice dams form when heat escapes from your attic, melting the snow on your roof. The melted snow flows to the edges, where it refreezes due to colder temperatures. Over time, this creates a ridge of ice at the edge of your roof that prevents proper drainage.
The risks of ice dams include:
- Water Backups: Ice dams block melting snow, forcing water to back up under your shingles and into your home.
- Gutter Damage: The weight of ice dams can damage gutters, pulling them away from the roof.
- Interior Damage: Water intrusion from ice dams can lead to stained ceilings, peeling paint, and even mold growth.
