Snow Cripples Baltimore City Roofing
Hey Baltimorians, remember the Snowpacolypse of '09-'10?
That series of heavy snowfall did a lot of damage to Baltimore city roofing.
If you're in the Baltimore, Towson, Owings Mills, Columbia, Silver Spring, Maryland or DC areas you should SERIOUSLY consider having your roof inspected and repaired before the next round hits us.
The safety of your home -- and your family -- may depend on it.
The rest of this article discusses the dangers of snow accumulation to the structural integrity of Baltimore City Roofing.

The problem with snow (aside from shutting down the streets and causing power outages) is that is accumulates on roofs, ESPECIALLY flat roofs, and can cause all kinds of damage.
First and foremost is the weight of all that snow.
If your roof isn't in solid shape, this added weight can cause it to collapse, potentially injuring you and your loved ones -- OR WORSE.
At the very least this is a HUGE inconvenience and requires a large investment to fix.
A good roofing contractor can spot tell-tale signs of a compromised roof, and repair the trouble spots for far less than it would cost after a catastrophic collapse.
If your roof is in REALLY bad shape it may actually be cheaper (and safer) to go for a full roof replacement.
Ice Dams: A Natural Disaster For Roofs
Another problem is ice dams.
Ice dams happen when snow partially melts and then refreezes, blocking the rest of the snow from draining properly off the roof as it melts.
This is NOT something you can take care of by clearing your roof of snow manually.
Roofers don't even provide this service because it's not safe to be on a roof covered with snow.
That's why it's extra important that you make sure your roof can handle a heavy snowfall.
What Can Be Done To Prevent A Disaster?
Unless you are a die-hard Do It Yourselfer, you're going to want a professional to take a look at your roof to recommend repairs or replacement.
Your roof can be reinforced to handle all the extra weight of a heavy snowfall, keeping you, your family, and your investment safe.
Another important feature is proper ventilation.
Without proper ventilation, ice dams are more likely to form which compounds the problem of extra weight with that of pooling water.
A professional roofer can handle both of these issues with relative ease.
