Those frozen bits of water that make
the landscape so beautiful and magical in the winter can be a heavy burden for
businesses. This is especially the case when your business building is large or
has a flat or slightly sloped roof. As snow accumulates on these types of
roofing, it stays put instead of sliding harmlessly to the ground. This
requires you to be alert and diligent to prevent problems with your roof. And,
those problems can be costly as they range from leak repair to roof
replacement.
You have two factors to consider here
-- the amount of snow and/or ice on your roof. You can’t forget about the ice
because it’s heavier and can do far more damage. During the winter, chances are
your roof is covered with both. We recommend you make use of formulas and
technology to get an accurate estimate.
A roof load calculator is one method.
Another is a calculator built into a monitoring system. That way, you have the
numbers you need to make smart decisions, such as when to send a crew out to
start shoveling
roofs. A small investment in a monitoring system now saves
you big money on roofing repairs and replacement in the future.
