(EstateNewsWire.com, February 09, 2013 ) St Paul, MN – The St Paul handyman recently updated his website with a page about roof raking the home to prevent ice damming or worse, a cave in from the weight of snow. The fact is, the threat of collapse is minimal, but it can lead to serious damage caused by ice damming. The concern from the weight is still present because it can weigh up to 30 pounds per square foot which means a 1600 square food roof surface can have up to $48,000 pounds of snow on it! The snow can damage gutters and downspouts.
According to the local handyman, the biggest concern is damage caused by snow melting and refreezing underneath the shingles. Snow melts from the heat in the attic then drains to the gutters and refreezes. As water and ice accumulates, it can work its way back up the roof, under the shingles and cause damage.
Using a roof rake will help alleviate some of the stress caused by heavy snow on the roof. The roof rake is a solid piece of metal or plastic about 16-20 inches wide and can be purchased at a local hardware store. The extension pole allows homeowners to perform this important home maintenance task from the ground on a single story home.
Collin Dickey, owner of handypro Handyman Services (http://www.handypro.com/minneapolis.html) warns homeowners about using a ladder in the wintertime because the rungs can get wet and then freeze and become slippery. He suggests hiring a professional to perform this task if the home is too large to accomplish this task while standing on solid ground. Do not attempt to do this from on top of the roof for obvious reasons!
