Having No Roof Snow Removal Plan Or Winter Roof Maintenance Is Bad Business.

Now is a crucial time to evaluate your roofs and create a winter emergency and snow removal action plan. As a preventative measure it is good to have a yearly assessment of your roof to make sure there are no underlying repairs that need to be done prior to a heavy snow. RoofConnect’s assessment includes the following:

1. Identify

Potential Hazards such as skylights, lightweight canopies, gas lines, solar array components, etc.
Sensitive/high impact snow removal areas (drift areas, solar panels, etc.)
Primary and secondary areas for roof access and equipment setup.

2. Determine

Roof type in order to have material on hand should repairs be necessary.
Safety equipment needed (warning lines, hard rail, harnesses, etc.)
Best areas to offload snow from roof and mark areas of egress to make sure none of the exterior access doors are blocked during snow removal.
Height of parapet walls.

3. Measure

The weight and height of snow in four zones on the roof.
Any drifts on the roof.

4. Remove

Snow from locations with excessive amounts that has put or has the potential to put the building in jeopardy.

Five Major Items to consider:

Snow load on your building
Proper roof drainage
Ice buildup and falling ice
Snow packs around building
Roof leaks / water infiltration
