• If you have a roof that is likely to compact
  snow during the winter, you might have tried
  different solutions. There are lots of roofing
  contractors out there who will tell you that
  there's no specific code or additional guidance
  that you need to keep snow off your roof. They
  would be right in that as of now, the federal
  government has no regulations protecting you and
  your roof from heavy snowfall. It's up to you as
  a homeowner to realize the risks and take action.

• So what are some of the risks that you would
  face during heavy snowfall? Well, if you have a
  metal roof, heavy snowfall can cause cracks and
  even collapse of your metal roof. blowing snow to
  compress on your roof is generally what causes
  the problem. If you only get a couple inches,
  it's really not that bad. The danger is when you
  have several feet of snow on the ground and rocks
  stacked up on your roof as well. The snow then
  becomes ice, incredibly heavy and very dangerous.
  If it doesn't cause cracks or damage to your roof
  itself, there's always the chance that the snow
  will fall from your roof in a massive snowdrift
  avalanche.

• These avalanches actually have caused several
  deaths in the last year because they happen so
  quickly. If your child is walking around in your
  backyard and the snow starts to shift, you won't
  have time to keep him safe before the compacted
  ice slips off your roof to cause damage. So both
  people and property can be damaged by the
  snowfall. Luckily, there is a solution. Snow
  rails systems allow you and your home to remain
  protected from damage that can be caused by
  snowfall.

• Snow rails systems are a form of snow guard,
  but like the name says, they include rails that
  run along your roof to section it off in two
  different pieces. By sectioning your roof with
  the snow rails systems that are strategically
  placed by an engineer, you are able to keep the
  snow from piling in larger sections and, by
  keeping it in smaller segments, allow for quicker
  melting and a runoff that won't be more than a
  harmless sludge in your gutters. Snow rails
  systems solve the problem of snow avalanches and
  cave ins by allowing for snow to melt faster
  along this grid. Snow rails systems can actually
  be used on any roof, but the type of snow guards
  you should use depends on your roof type.

• Choosing the right snow rails systems can be
  easy if you work with the right manufacturer.
  Snow rails systems manufacturers will let you
  know what snow rails systems work for your roof
  and keep you updated on how to care for them and
  make sure that your home is as safe as it can be.
