When December hits, you know the drill in New England: snow and ice spread everywhere. Even your roof can face severe impact. While you may believe your roof can withstand plenty of snow piling on top of it, roof contractors insist that you don’t ignore the issue. If you take the time to get snow removed from your roof, you’ll be much happier and safer in the long run. Leaving snow on a roof has negative, dangerous consequences.
Home damage
As snow continues to pile on top of your roof, it weighs down on its structure. Eventually, the structure will crumble, and your roof will hit your home. Property damage is a guarantee at this point, and you’ll have to deal with rebuilding your home due to the neglect. It’s not worth it to wait.
Mold growth
Moisture is probably the most prominent catalyst for mold growth. So, as you can imagine, a leaky roof makes mold grow at a substantial rate! Even if snow doesn’t weigh down on your roof yet, you should call roof contractors to get it removed, so it doesn’t seep in and cause excess mold growth.
Save money
It’s hard to justify spending money on a service that seems a bit frivolous. After all, you can just climb up to your roof and shovel it off, right? Not so. Not only is going DIY in this case dangerous, but it can also cause more problems when done improperly. Plus, if you outright ignore snow, it will cause structural damage that requires plenty of money to remedy. A one-time service is well worth it and saves you money in the long run!
