Why do i need to get the snow removed from my roof.

Roof with snow.

If your roof is 1 000 square feet the total snow load is 15 000 pounds of snow. Furthermore when you do get a solid snowfall the snow itself will actually add to the overall insulation of your home saving you money on your heating bill. To figure out the load on your roof take the depth of snow in feet and multiply it by the weight of a cubic foot of snow. Look for a long handled roof rake like the one below that s specifically designed for the job.
