The Importance of Snow and Ice Dam Removal
When snow accumulates and ice dams form on roofs, it can create significant issues if not addressed promptly–as experienced by many homeowners in the Boise area during our 2017 winter.
How do ice dams damage your roof?
● Ice dams form when melting snow refreezes at the edge of your roof. This creates a barrier, an ice dam, that blocks proper water drainage.● Because the ice dam blocks water drainage, it forces water under the shingles.● Once water gets beneath the shingles, there is a high probability it will damage your roof and lead to leaks inside your home.

Flat Roof Snow Removal
If your commercial building has a flat roof, it needs special attention for snow removal. Accumulated snow on a flat roof can cause more damage than on an angled roof because snow cannot easily slide off.
Not removing snow from a flat roof can lead to:
● Too much weight: Snow adds a lot of weight, putting serious stress on the structure.● Drainage system damage: Melting and refreezing blocks drainage, forcing water to seep through seams or cracks.● Structural damage: Snow and ice can damage the structure, cause leaks, and put wear and tear on HVAC systems.● Roof collapsing: In extreme cases, too much snow can lead to your roof collapsing.
