Dangers of ice dams in St. Clair Shores, MI

11/18/2019 (Permalink)

Snow on roof of house Don't let snow pile up!

Prevent Ice Dams 

Snow can accumulate quickly during our Michigan winter storms. It is important to not let an overabundance of snow build up on your roof. Too much snow on your roof can cause ice dams. Ice dams can cause your roof to leak and damage your home. If the temperature stays below freezing, the snow cannot melt. A general rule of thumb is to remove the snow if it builds up to 6 inches or more.

Snow removal can be accomplished by using a roof rake or shoveling. A roof rake is a safe way to go and can be done by the average homeowner. Shoveling should be done by a professional. Safety first!
