Now that the snow storms have settled down a bit, most homeowners and business owners thought that they were in the clear. Thinking that the snow would just melt and everything would go back to normal would be highly unlikely for most across the state especially those located in Fairfield, Middlesex, New London, Hartford and Litchfield County. Multiple snow storms back to back have caused severe roof damage to many homes and businesses.
The best advice is pull snow off your roof 4 to 5 feet above the gutters. Flat roofs on commercial buildings present different issues.Connecticut saw several building collapses from the sheer weight of the snow after two major back to back storms.The town of Vernon even called in the National Guard to deal with problematic snow build up on several schools with flat roofs.
