There is a widespread opinion, the essence of which is that in the winter season, snow removal from the roof surface is not mandatory. Let us consider in detail all aspects of this issue, as well as determine the feasibility of cleaning the roof in winter.
Probably there is no such person who would not be pleased with the beautiful, crisp white snow under his feet. It brings a certain variety to the ordinary gray everyday life of people, and also gives children the joy of the opportunity to ride a sleigh. Unfortunately, snow also has a negative side. In addition to the fact that the abundant amount of precipitation can paralyze the movement on the roads, the snow that covered the roofs of buildings puts a significant load on them. And this is not the only drawback of the snow layer on the roof.
Fluctuations in the temperature regime lead to the fact that the snow layer turns into ice and icicles. A fall from a height of both those and others carries a high probability of not only damage to the property located below, but also cause significant damage to human life and health. All these factors only indicate that not removing snow from the roof is a big risk.
There are several effective methods, the use of which will greatly simplify the cleaning process. The simplest of them is mechanical.
Using shovels, adhering icicles are knocked down and snow mass is removed from the roof. If it is not possible to clear the entire roof area, then it is enough to limit ourselves to an interval multiple of 1-1.5 meters from the ridge.
To ensure that the cleaning process is not only effective, but also not traumatic, it is recommended to use safety devices for work:
- Safety cable;
- Portable ladder for fastening;
- Mounting belt;
Snow should be cleaned in the daytime, after making sure that there are no people below and the snow being cleared will not be able to harm anyone. We should not forget about our own safety. In addition to the previously listed protective equipment, you need to put on non-slip shoes and comfortable clothes for work.
If the number of storeys of the room is more than two spans, then it is not worth the risk. It is best to seek the services of qualified specialists. After analyzing the likelihood of severe consequences from uncleaned snow from the roof, we can confidently say that this procedure is mandatory.
