If there has been an unprecedented series of storms in a
region, the chance for snowdrifts building up on roofs increases. Snow loads
enhance the risk of a roof collapse. With Safe Roof Systems (SRS) products and
services, you can know when and where to initiate safe and effective roof snow
removal. SRS approaches each project with the expertise that comes from more
than 20 years serving property owners and managers. Our experience over the
years has shown us that structural failure due to a roof snow load may be
linked to the following causes:
·
The weight of the snow load greatly exceeds the
roof’s capacity to handle it
·
Drifting and sliding snow conditions
·
Deficient workmanship
·
Insufficient operation and maintenance
·
Improper design
·
Inadequate drainage design
·
Insufficient design in older buildings
Although an inadequate snow load design is a common cause
of a roof’s collapse, many roofs break down as a result of:
· Age & Deterioration
·
Lack of Maintenance
· Building Modifications
· Added Insulation Over an Older Roof that Prevents Heat from Melting Snow
·
A Combination of these Factors.
