The exact amount of weight a roof can hold is often based on several factors, but most can typically support 20 pounds per square inch of weight before becoming stressed. Some roofs are even designed to support greater loads in areas and mountainous regions where snow tends to fall heavily at times!

Both do well to support the weight of snow, asphalt shingles are more affordable and easier to replace. Because of the different factors that affect each roofing system, what can be just a normal amount of snow accumulated on one roof can actually pose a higher risk on the roof of a neighboring home. This is why it’s recommended that you have yours checked by a trusted professional to ascertain more detail on the condition of your roof and be on the safe side. Aside from looking at your roof from the curb, you’ll find more telltale signs indoors as well. Check your attic to see if you can find any hint to an impending problem. For instance, sprinkler lines, sagging ceiling tiles, popping or creaking noises, cracked walls, jammed doors and windows, or leaks are all signs of an overstressed roof. You can also examine the rafters for any noticeable bends or cracks. Damaged rafters can be caused by snow, but there are other possible explanations as well such as termites. In any case, you’ll need a licensed roof repair contractor at this point to evaluate and address the problem properly.

Learn More »You’ll need to clear the snow off your roof to prevent it from collapsing into your home. But doing this without taking precautions can be risky, especially if there’s a lot of snow accumulated on your roof. As we mentioned earlier, we recommend that you call in professional roofers to do this for you, but you can start by clearing the excess snow and ice. A snow rake with a long extension arm is recommended, and you can start doing this yourself to alleviate some of the weight off your roof. Before you start raking away however, pay attention to where the snow pulled off the roof is likely to wind up. Be sure to pick a landing spot that won’t affect you or any unsuspecting bystander. Also don’t try to remove all the snow, as it could damage the roofing material and leave the roof vulnerable to leaks. Some roof rakes are fitted with rollers that keep the edge of the rake safely away from the shingles, so use those instead. If the snow is too steep, don’t risk it and hire a professional contractor to finish the job. And if your roof is already damaged and looks like it’s in danger of collapse, don’t risk staying inside and vacate the premises immediately. You’re better off hiring a structural engineer to assess the problem. You can count on our roofing and siding services at Pro Quality Construction Inc. to get the job done!
