Winter comes with snow in many regions across
the country – while the white powder is something that kids certainly look
forward to, an excessively thick blanket of snow on the roof is something that
adults might not like nearly as much. However, snow accumulations don’t have to
pose a risk for your roof according to Expert Roofing – here is how you can remove the snow quickly and
safely:
-
Using a roof rake – the roof
rake is a tool that has a rake-like head with rollers or bumpers on the bottom attached
to a long stick and is used for removing the snow while standing on the ground.
The tool is suitable for being used on one-storey buildings or in lower roof
areas, such as the overhangs or for cleaning the gutters;
-
Snow shovelling – roof shovels
are used in roof areas that cannot be efficiently cleaned with a rake.
Shovelling is done standing on the roof, so it is best done by professional
roofing services and is not recommended for amateurs;
-
Roof de-icers – you can also
decide to install electric devices on the roof to prevent the accumulation of
snow and ice on the roof. The devices can be installed only in snow-free
periods and are quite costly, but very efficient.
