How and Should you Remove Snow from your Roof?

Snow up to a point is good for your heat bill as it does add an insulating factor but there can be a point where there is too much snow. How much is too much? About two feet of snow is too much! Although most roof’s in the Quad Cities area were built with the weight of snow in mind. Problems can occur if it rains when there is a lot of snow on the roof. The snow absorbs the water and gets a lot heavier. You can buy a “roof rake” at most home improvement stores and pull down the snow near the eaves. That will usually be enough to let water run off the roof.
