Keeping Snow Accumulation Off Your Roof
Winter is certainly leaving its mark this year. Snow accumulation on rooftops is a problem that many homeowners are contending with. According to modern building codes, roofs should be able to support up to 20 pounds per square foot; however, older, or flat roofs might not be as resilient.

The weather in Minnesota is more extreme than many other states. In the winter, you can expect up to 70 inches of snow and many more inches of rain in the non-winter months. Combining precipitation with wind and temperature extremes, it is important to do what you can to protect your Minnesota home from the constant pounding it takes. Your gutter system is a critical part of protecting your home from the elements. You may not realize it, but your gutters are responsible for preventing costly water damage. They allow water to flow freely from your roof all the way to the ground, and (importantly) away from your foundation. Making an investment in your gutter system can help protect your roof, your siding and your home’s foundation 
As winter begins, the threat of wintertime roof damage isn’t something to take lightly – especially in a cold state like Minnesota. As a Minnesotan, you know snow and ice damage on your roof can mean frustration and expensive repairs. So, what are some signs you can look for, and is there anything you can do to avoid this type of damage? The experts at Minnesota Leafless Gutters have put together a few things that you can do to avoid damages this winter 
And so, it begins again–another cold weather season that makes Minnesota, well, Minnesota. Most of us would like to be able to focus on the more pleasant things–cross country skiing, snowmobiling, spending time with family in front of a nice fire, ice fishing, ice hockey–rather than the realities of snow removal and ice dams and the damage they can do to our houses.

You may assume that fall is the most important time to pay attention to your gutters. After all, that is when the leaves fall off of the trees and can clog a standard grade gutter system. However, winter is another important time to pay attention to your gutters. Frozen precipitation can be a real problem for your roof and gutter system and can cause serious damage to your home if you are not careful. Minnesota Leafless Gutters can help you take care of your gutters all year round so that you do not have to worry about the consequences of a failing gutter system.
