Does shoveling your roof prevent ice dams?

• <div><p>Removing snow from your roof can help prevent ice dams, but the best thing to do is address insulation issues in your attic. If you do decide to remove the snow manually, you should always use a roof rake rather than a shovel. You shouldn’t climb your snowy roof in any circumstance, and roof rake allows you to remove the snow from the ground or a ladder. For the best results, remove snow as soon as possible after it falls.</p></div>

Is a three-stage snow blower better than a two-stage?

• <div><p>When it comes to deciding whether a two-stage or three-stage snow blower is better, you must consider the amount of snowfall you get, the size of the area, and your budget. </p><p>A three-stage snow blower is more efficient at clearing higher volumes of snow quicker and removing ice build-up. It’s ideal for commercial use and removing snow from large areas. Make sure to compare <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/snow-removal-equipment-types.htm">various types of snow removal equipment</a> to ensure you purchase the one that is best for your needs. </p></div>

Q: Are there scheduling flexibility options for removal services?

• <div><p>Yes, many companies offer convenient options to accommodate service timing needs.</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>

Q: Can I use cat litter or sand to melt the ice in my driveway?

• <div><p>Some commercial services use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/sand-vs-salt-for-snow.htm">sand when clearing ice</a>, but that&rsquo;s to add instant traction, not to melt the ice. While you can scatter kitty litter, sand, or similar substances on steps, paths, or porches to improve safety during icy conditions, they won&rsquo;t help melt hardened ice. Rely on salt or other de-icing methods to fully melt away stubborn ice.</p></div>
