The winter season is fast approaching, and Littleton CO homes are at risk of facing enormous problems snow can cause. Snow is beautiful, especially during the first few weeks. However, the air's cold and moisture can cause massive damage to any residence and commercial structure. Here are three of snow's biggest effects on your home in Littleton, CO.
Ice Dams
Your roof protects you against the elements. However, it can freeze up due to sub-zero temperatures, allowing it to create ice formations known as ice dams. These can create melts around your roof, immensely damaging your roof underlayments if you leave them unattended without wired roof heaters.
Possible Cave Ins
Snow is much denser and heavier than rainfall. Torrential rainfall can cause massive damages, but snow can push against your roofing's weak sections. With an in-depth roofing inspection, you can prevent snow from pushing down against your roof.
Water Damages
Lastly, when snow and ice dams melt, it will cause massive water damages. Fortunately, it's easy to resolve this -- make sure to call on Littleton, CO roofers you can trust, such as Roper Roofing, to resolve all your roofing problems with an effective maintenance plan.
