Q: Do ice dams mean I need a new roof?

• <div><p>No, ice dams aren&rsquo;t a standalone sign that you need a new roof. Ice dams can form on new roofs, as issues with the insulation inside your home are often the underlying problem. However, if you notice signs of roof damage from ice dams, you might need to hire a local roofer for repair or partial replacement.</p></div>

Q: Can roof raking damage shingles?

• <div><p>Roof raking can damage shingles if improperly done. Be sure to use a rake that&rsquo;s designed specifically for removing snow from a roof, and don&rsquo;t use excessive pressure. Light, consistent pressure to pull down the bulk of the snow is all that&rsquo;s needed&mdash;if you clear right down to the shingles, you&rsquo;re probably using too much force and risking roof damage.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs of a roof collapse?

• <div><p>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.</p><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can a flat roof be raised?

• <div><p>Technically, a flat roof can be raised, but it&rsquo;s extremely expensive, and there would not be much of a point. Most homeowners raise the roof in their homes to access the space between their existing ceiling and the roof, but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/pros-and-cons-of-flat-roofs.htm">flat roofs</a> don&rsquo;t have this space. Therefore, you can raise a flat roof, but it involves heavy structural modification. </p></div>

Q: Should there be a gap between the roof and the wall?

• <div><p>There should be small gaps between your roof and the walls of your home, and other buildings. These small gaps let building materials shift, expand, and contract with weather and other outside forces, and they prevent moisture from wicking down walls from roofing and gutter systems. Without these strategic gaps, your home&rsquo;s exterior and its finishes can sustain water damage, decay, peel, delaminate, and crack. However, there is a fine line between a smart gap and a problematic gap&mdash;all gaps should be small, intentional, and covered or filled in with foam insulation to prevent pests from using them as access points.</p></div>
