Winter is making up for lost time. While Massachusetts didn’t have that much snow in earlier winter months, February appears to be making up for it. The snow continues to accumulate this week, and there will be several more weeks of winter ahead. Property owners work constantly to clear driveways, parking lots, and sidewalks. And, when we get this much snow, it’s essential to keep an eye on roofs and take steps to reduce the risk of damage from ice dams and excessive snow load weight.
As we continue through the remaining weeks of winter, please keep safety in mind. The last thing anyone should do to prevent damage is to create a hazardous situation. Shoveling snow off a slippery roof can be dangerous, so we highly recommend hiring a professional to do such work. We know many property owners make their attempts to remove snow, so please use extreme caution if you do so. Falling off a roof isn’t a risk worth taking. Also, if not done correctly, some attempts to remove ice dams can cause damage, worsening a bad situation.
