The effect of cold weather and winters on your home’s roof

In regions where cold climates are experienced, homeowners often face the common problem of heavy snow build up and the occurrence of ice dams.

In particular, the excess weight of heavy or built up snow can damage your roof, building gutters, down spouts and it can also block the airflow of your home's ventilation systems. Ice dams form as the heavy snow melts under the daylight sun and then flows or backs up under the shingles, and once the temperature drops after the sun goes down it refreezes at night.

After repeat or ongoing melting and then freezing cycles, water enters your home’s attic and can cause damage to your insulation, ceilings, walls, and even the overall building itself.

To avoid or prevent this common problem, homeowners need to keep the snow load on their roof to a minimum. In doing this, you reduce the chance of an ice dam forming and prevent damage to your roof.

Downing Roofing offers a Winter Snow & Ice Dam Removal Package

Our package includes:

• Removal of the heavy snow and an inspection of your roof's ventilation systems to ensure that your home’s ventilation system is clear of any obstructions and able to function as it was designed to.
• The chipping and channelling of ice dams to ensure any water flow will be able to flow and drain off your roof safely and properly.
• The clearance of your sidewalks, steps and your driveway of any snow that has came from the roof as a result of the roof top snow removal.

Our Winter Snow & Ice Dam Removal Package price starts at $250.00 for the typical or average snow and ice dam removal from your home’s roof. However, there could be an additional cost for the package depending on the size, slope and height of your roof.

When you hire Downing Roofing to remove the heavy snow and/or ice dams from your roof, you know that you will get a reliable, and experienced professional that knows how to properly remove snow and avoid the chance of damage to your roof as a result of an inexperienced person improperly removing the snow and incidentally damaging your roof or causing other problems in the spring or down the road to your home’s roof.
