Roofing in Lancaster, PA: Gearing up for Increasingly Heavy Snow Loads

Certain critical factors can affect the performance of any roof during winter. For instance, low-sloped or flat roof styles tend to accumulate more snow than steep slope styles that allow melting snow to run off quickly. If you have a low-sloped or flat roof, you may use a snow rake to clear your roof; just be sure to exercise utmost caution when doing so.

Another factor that affects a roof’s ability to handle a heavier than usual snow load is its current condition. A damaged or a decaying roof structure is undoubtedly likely to fail in the face of heavy snowfall and powerful snowstorms, which is why many industry experts suggest that the necessary roof repairs be carried during the spring and fall. Meanwhile, experienced Lancaster roofing contractors can help control snowmelt runoff and water damage by ensuring optimum attic ventilation services.
