"Our Roof/Chimney was damaged in severe wind. We had the brick redone and then called Bricks out to assess the liner. I was able to schedule an appointment right away and upon inspection they had noticed our brick work needed to be repaired as the previous work was not correctly done. The liner also was bent and had a small tear. They were very informative, taking the time to show and explain all aspects of what needed to be done. This company was very reliable, friendly, and professional. The Installation of the new work went quick, and they were respectful of property as well. Id highly recommend Bricks Chimney."

Chimney Inspection questions, answered by experts

Maybe you waited a little longer than you should have before dealing with the snow accumulation on your roof, and now you are wondering if there is risk of roof collapse. Here are some signs you should look out for: a sagging roof, cracking and cracking sounds, cracks in walls, and leaks in your attic and ceiling.

If you suspect potential roof collapse, do not delay. Take immediate action. Call a professional roofing company and get an inspection. You may want to move your belongings to a safe place and relocate your family until everything has been taken care of.

You should set aside about two hours for the roof inspection. Ideally, both you and your roofing contractor will be present during and after the inspection to ensure everyone is on the same page. Prepare any questions you have before the roofing inspector gets to your house so you can be ready to ask them the day of. Gather any relevant documents related to the roof, such as past construction completed, insurance, damages, etc.

A roof's ability to handle snow depends on its strength and the snow's weight, as wet snow is much heavier than dry, fluffy snow. While designs in snowy regions often allow for 35 to 50 pounds per square foot, a general guideline is that a typical roof can withstand about four feet of fresh snow, two feet of packed snow, or just one inch of ice. Factors like the roof's age, slope, and support structure also affect its capacity; newer, sloped roofs generally hold more weight than older, flat ones. Ice and ice dams add significant, dangerous weight. Because capacity varies, it is best to contact a professional roofing contractor or the original builder to determine the maximum snow load for your specific home.

The number of roof vents necessary for a 2,000-square-foot house depends on several factors. The calculation depends on the net free area within the attic and whether your municipality requires a 1/150 or a 1/300 ratio of venting square feet to attic square feet. If you install vents with a square-foot opening of one, you'll need either 14 or seven exhaust vents and an equal square-foot amount of intake vents.

Yes, installing snow guards is highly recommended for metal roofs, especially if you live in an area with moderate to heavy snowfall. Metal roofs have smooth, slick surfaces that offer little traction, which can cause large, heavy loads of snow and ice to slide off all at once in a dangerous "rooftop avalanche."

This sudden release of snow can cause serious injury to anyone below and damage personal property, such as cars or landscaping.

Snow guards act as a barrier, holding the snow on the roof so it can melt and slide off in smaller, more controlled amounts. While low-slope metal roofs in areas with very little snow might not strictly require them, installing snow guards is a valuable safety measure to protect your family and property.
