The effects of piled snow and ice dams forming could have a negative impact on your roof and home.
Piled snow puts a lot of stress on your roof and gutters. Ice dams are relatively common in Prior Lake during the cold winter months. They occur when heavy snow buildup melts during the day and then refreezes when temperatures drop overnight.
When melted snow turns to ice, this gradual accumulation of ice eventually creates blockage (or a dam) which can allow some meltwater runoff to pool up and run beneath shingles, flashing, and siding. These leaks can potentially cause different problems, including:
- Mold
- Waterlogged insulation
- Lifted shingles
- Peeling paint on ceiling and walls
- Gutter damage
- Warped roofing beams
- Exterior siding separation
As the University of Minnesota Extension points out, "an ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at the edge of a roof and prevents melting snow (water) from draining off the roof. The water that backs up behind the dam can leak into a home and cause damage to walls, ceilings, insulation and other areas."
Roof raking services for commercial properties
Excessive snow and potential ice dams can also impact commercial buildings. The JLS team can also work with business owners and property managers to relieve their roofs from snow buildup. Roof raking services for commercial properties is a great way to reduce liability and potential cash outlays that may not be covered by insurance.
