Snow Removal Roof Services

As a family owned and locally operated Indianapolis business for over 30 years, Stay Dry Roofing knows how important raking snow from roofs is in preventing harmful ice dam formations. It’s every bit as crucial as the right attic insulation or quality roof repair. If your home uses rooftop solar panels, snow removal roof services also helps to improve their efficiency during winter.

Indiana winters can produce exceptionally heavy snowfall. If snow and ice builds up, the weight can stress your roof’s load capacity, particularly in the case of an older roof or those that are flat or have lower pitches. Snow can force melt water through existing leaks in your roof. Snow accumulation can also cause destructive ice dams, those humps of ice that typically form along the eaves of your house. They form when accumulated snow melts against the roof and flows downward beneath the upper more insulating layer of snow, then refreeze when temperatures reach below freezing. When ice dams grow large enough, water will collect behind them and form little pools. The pools trickle beneath shingles until they reach fastener holes, where they drip into the house.

That’s why snow removal roof services, particularly after severe winter storms, are an important part of roof maintenance. Stay Dry Roofing has been raking snow from roofs for our customers for decades, and can get the job done right, efficiently and safely.
