Do you need to clear snow from the roof?

• <div><p>While removing every snowflake from your roof is unnecessary, you should remove a significant buildup of snow. Since snow is wet and heavy, it can easily cause <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/did-storm-damage-your-roof.htm">damage to your roof</a>, which can lead to needing costly repairs. </p><p>Additionally, when the snow melts but has nowhere to go and refreezes, it can create an ice dam, causing mold concerns due to water leaking into your attic and ceiling. For these reasons, it’s best to hire a snow removal professional to clear heavy snowfall from your roof as soon as possible. </p></div>

Q: Does insurance cover roof damage from snow?

• <div><p>Yes, some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-get-know-your-homeowners-insurance.htm">homeowners insurance policies</a> cover roof damage caused by snow. However, these full or partial payouts can vary depending on the age of your roof and other related factors, like the overall condition it was in before the snowfall. It&rsquo;s best to check with your specific homeowners insurance policy to determine snow damage coverage and exclusions. </p></div>

Q: Is ice dam removal covered by insurance?

• <div><p>You should check with your insurance provider, but generally, ice dam removal is not covered by insurance, as it&rsquo;s considered a preventable issue. However, damage from ice dams may be covered by your policy, including roof collapses. In the case of leaks, your belongings may or may not be covered. If you can&rsquo;t find specific information on ice dam removal in your policy, give the insurance company a call and find out.</p></div>

Q: Can I remove snow from my roof myself?

• <div><p>While it is possible to remove snow from your roof without a professional, we don&rsquo;t recommend it. Accessing your roof can be a dangerous task; pair that with slippery ice and snow that can be heavy to move, and you have a very risky problem on your hands. This dangerous situation becomes more high-risk when there&rsquo;s a snowstorm or your roof has a steep pitch. To ensure that everyone stays safe, be sure to call a roof snow removal specialist to complete this job with the proper tools and equipment. </p></div>

Q: How do you know if there is too much snow on your roof?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-how-much-snow-can-your-roof-hold.htm">How much snow can a roof hold</a>? The answer could help you to avoid roof collapse&mdash;a worst-case scenario, of course. For most roofs, you can expect it to withstand four feet of fresh snow, two feet of packed snow, or two to three feet of a mix of old and new snow. However, your roof will only be able to handle one inch of ice. The actual weight capacity of your roof may vary, so check with whoever built it for exact details.</p></div>
