Does Roof Raking Help Prevent Ice Dams?
January 11, 2021
So far this season, we have had a tame winter here in Minneapolis and St Paul. We’ve had a few snowfalls here and there, but outside of our October blast, nothing to really write home about. Heading into the long winter months ahead, we will undoubtedly get hit with a few more winter storms in Minneapolis, St Paul, and the rest of Minnesota.
Pictured above is an action shot of a roof raking project in the Minneapolis St Paul area. As you can see, the roof rake combs down the snow from the roofline, which will help prevent damage to your roof and your home or business’s interior.

What Causes Ice Dams In Minneapolis St Paul?
If snow is left to pile up over several storms, you could find yourself facing a nasty ice dam. An ice dam is a large build-up of ice that forms from heat from the inside of your home and refreezing from the outside cold temperatures. Freezing on the roofline holds back the melting water drainage, which will add to the ice dam and cause a backup. If this happens, it can potentially cause damage and result in water leaking into your Minneapolis home. Removing the snow from your roofline is one of the easiest ways to prevent an ice dam from happening to your home.
