Roofing Ice Damage

November 30, 2022

A roof’s problems are not visible until it is too late. Due to this, it is crucial to get regular roof inspections on a monthly or yearly basis from reputable companies like West Side Roofing.

What to Expect in Winter Months

The degree of ice damage occurring and the amount of ice that can build up is very unpredictable. For example, many cities have a vicious cycle of heavy snow followed by scorching weather, which completely eats up at the roof.

Considering this example, it can be deduced that the freeze-thaw cycle is the primary factor contributing to ice damage.

This is because when the snow settles on the roof, and it thaws right after, icicles form and backs up on those roofs, causing a lot of roof damage.

On the flip side, ice damage is not very common, and is considered solely to be a wintertime issue.

Wrap-up

In addition to that, there is a multitude of other different factors which can contribute to ice buildup on your roof, which can be assessed by professional roofing companies such as West Side Roofing.

Ice buildup is a phenomenon that normally starts at the gutter edges, which are not visible to the naked eye. Due to this, you should schedule regular roof inspections so that the problem could be addressed before it gets out of hand. Contact us for a free estimate today.

The only hiccup was ,after I went to their office and paid in full with a cashier  check.Days later I received a e mail asking for payment. I never received  a apology for this!

They were prompt , very professional, cleaned up using a magnetic device so they didn’t leave a single nail behind. Even hung my plants back up for me without my asking !!!
