House Covered in Snow & Ice? 5 Tips to Help You Safely Remove Icicles & Snow From Your Roof! by Dr. Josephine Dlugopolski - Gach

If you have a lot of ice and snow on your house, you may be tempted to remove it. But be careful. Here are four things to keep in mind!

• When removing ice and snow, safety glasses and hardhats are often overlooked, but may be a wise investment to prevent injury.

• Lightly tap icicles with a long-handled shovel to gently dislodge them, rather than giving a forceful whack.

• Make sure people and pets are clear of the area.

• No one should be on a snow-covered roof unless you are a professional specially equipped and trained to handle the dangers. Paying a service provider may be a wise investment rather than risking your safety!

Let's be safe this winter!
