Snow Retention
Snow retention systems will break the fall of snow and ice, keeping it on your roof. These systems will either 1. keep the snow and ice on your roof to melt or 2. allow it to fall off in small amounts. This way you won’t have large amounts of snow falling off your roof all at the same time.
We install it all
Snow retention systems are a great investment that will ensure the protection of your roof and anything else surrounding your building. We’ve all heard stories of snow and ice falling off roofs and hitting people, vehicles and animals. What you may not have heard, is that there is a way to stop the snow and ice from falling off roofs that way. At WHC, we have the expertise and experience to help you get the correct snow retention system for your roof. We’ll even install during the summer months.
The Danger of Falling Ice and Snow
It is very important to have a snow retention system in place, especially for areas that are known to receive a lot of snow. Falling snow and ice could harm or potentially kill someone who just happens to be walking by. Having a retention system in place will allow the snow and ice to stay on the roof and melt up there, safely away from people, animals, decks and vehicles.
Types of snow retention
- Snow Bars
- Snow Rails
- Cleats
- Fixed & Clamp Mounts
Property owners are held legally liable for snow and ice falling off their roofs. If someone is injured and it can be determined that the property owner was aware of an issue they could have prevented, that’s a problem. Taking preventative measures to ensure the safety of everyone entering your property will be better in the long run than having to deal with a lawsuit.
