How to Remove Snow From the Roof

​

There are several ways to go about removing snow and ice from a roof. The most common DIY route is to use a snow roof rake. However, in more dangerous conditions or when attempting to remove heavily-packed snow, contracting professionals to clear the snow and ice may be necessary. It is important to note that you should under no circumstances attempt to go on top of your roof and shovel snow — this can be dangerous and adding extra weight to your roof will only increase the risk of a roof collapse.
