Snow and ice on Northstar roofs
In Northstar, snow can sit on a roof for months. Ice dams at the eaves are one of the most common causes of winter leaks, and design snow loads are high. Check with your building department for the requirement at your address.
Fall prep, like clearing needles, fixing flashing and planning where snow will slide, heads off most mid-winter problems.
Many Northstar homes are second homes. Inspections with photos, plus checks after big storms, help owners catch leaks before they spread.
