What to do first
- Watch for signs the roof is overloaded: sagging ceilings, new cracks, doors that stick, creaking. If you see them, leave that part of the house.
- Do not climb onto a snowy roof. A roof rake from the ground or a roofing crew is safer.
- Keep furnace, dryer and generator vents clear of snow so carbon monoxide does not build up inside.
- Take dated photos of any ice dams, leaks or roof damage.
- Before you sign with a contractor: get a written estimate and check their license with your state.
