Snow-Covered Roofs

Snow continues to come to the Northeast and unfortunately too many business find themselves unprepared. The potential for roof collapse or structural damage increases as the weight of accumulated snow and ice exceeds the snow load capacity of the roof.

Rain falling on accumulated snow is especially dangerous because snow-covered roofs do not drain well and accumulating water and ice can quickly exceed the design limits of the roof.  Well with some early spring like temperatures and rain in our forecast we want you to be aware of the problem.  In an effort to prevent collapse or other damage we have provided a link to Safe Work Practices on Snow-Covered Roofs. This information has been provided to us courtesy of Peerless Insurance.
