Rake it when a heavy load builds up, especially wet snow: 1 foot of fresh snow can weigh up to 21 pounds per square foot when wet and heavy. Light, dry snow weighs far less. Clearing the lower few feet of the eave from the ground is usually enough to cut load and reduce ice buildup.
No, a non-metallic rake is the safer choice. FEMA says metal snow rakes can damage roofing material and should be avoided, and it notes snow can be removed from the ground, which keeps people off a hazardous roof.
Warning signs include popping, cracking and creaking noises, sagging roof members, cracks in walls, and doors or windows that suddenly won't open or close. If you notice any of these, keep people out of the area and have the structure checked before anyone climbs up.
If ceilings sag, doors suddenly stick or you hear popping and creaking from the roof, get everyone out of that area first. 24/7 Express Handyman Service can clear eaves from the ground, but a structural concern needs an engineer or roofer right away.
Every job 24/7 Express Handyman Service takes on is under $3,000 including labor, materials and any change orders (Utah Code §58-55-305); a change that would push a job over that line is referred to a licensed contractor, not written up as a second job. plumbing, electrical, HVAC, gas appliance / combustion system work is referred to a licensed trade.
