Roof gutters, snow and ice

December 29, 2021
 
Due to the unusual weather conditions, our gutters are blocked with snow and ice. This will likely lead to overflow conditions which will refreeze on entrances and walkways creating a safety issue. With rising temperatures within the next few days, the gutters should be back to normal. However, the weather conditions may also cause ice dams to form around roof vents, possibly creating leaks.
 
As you may expect, none of the contractors are working this week, but if there is a leak report, it will be on the short list of items to be taken up with our roofing contractor. Meanwhile, be careful around your entrances and walkways.
