If you live in the northern part of the US, you will have experienced at least one significant snowfall during the winter that results in a buildup of snow on the roof of your home.
While most people rarely give any attention to the snow on their roof (they just think it will melt off and be gone), this snow buildup on your roof can cause significant problems; both from the physical weight of the snow build up and water damage from melting snow.
Snow Is Actually Quite Heavy
The weight of the snow on a roof also varies by area, and most homes are designed to handle a hefty snow load. But in severe winters, you may want to use a roof rake to eliminate the sheer weight of the snow on your roof.
A cubic foot of snow can weigh anywhere from seven pounds (for snow that is new and dry) to 30 pounds for old, compacted snow. Plus, any freezing rain falling on accumulated snow will add more weight.

When trying to eliminate the snow build up on your roof, safety needs to be your first priority.
After all, snow and ice buildup creates a treacherous footing situation; and the majority of injuries that come when using a roof rake are from falls.
Where do people fall most often when attempting to remove snow from their roof? They fall off the ladder on their way up to the roof; and they fall off the ladder on their way back down from the roof.
Naturally, you can eliminate the ladder completely, and simply fall directly off the roof; but the object is to remove snow from your roof…
Not to wind up in the emergency room.
