lTips On What To Do About
Snow On Roofs Are Given
• A heavy load of ice and snow
on the roof could be a recurring
problem this winter. For Mason
County homeowners worried about
possible damage from snow and
i ice Packs H. J. Van De Riet
County Extension Agent offers
,this advice from Everett Davis
Washington State UniversiW Ex-
tension agricultural engineer.
Most roofs are designed to car-
ry a two foot snow load without
much trouble. Most of them will
actually carry more than that.
The weight of the snow is usually
not a very serious problem.
Ic e jams along the eaves are
Something else again. They can
cause real damage to your
house.The ice banks along the
edge of the roof are usually
caused by attics that are too
warra.Heat from the attic how-
ever does not reach the cave line.
On cold days water from melt-
ing snowy on the roof runs down
to the eave llne and freezes. Ice
darns at the cave line are the re-
sult. As the process continues the
ice along the edge of the roof
backs water up on the roof. If
backed high enough the water
could seep under the shingles
! run down into the house and
leak through walls and ceilings
causing extensive damage.
On warm days partial melting
is not a problem. When the out-
Side temperature rises the snow
melts at the same rate on the
eaves as on top and runs right
off the roof. On cold days the
best way to prevent the snow on
top of the roof from melting fas-
ter than at the cave line is to
keep the inside of the attic cold.
Keep the tenperature inside the
attic as near the outside tempera-
ture as possible. This can be
done by ventilating the attic
through windows and louvers and
by heavy insulation between the
ceiling and the attic.
If it is impossible to ventilate
the attic and keep it cold another
way to prevent ice jams is to
warm up the cave line with ele-
tric cables.
Electric heat cables are used
in greenhouses to warm the soil
and sometimes in stock tanks to
keep the water from freezing.
They can be strung out along
the edge of the eaves. When plug-
ged in the cables heat the area
melt any ice already formed
and prevent further ice forma-
tion.
There are several approved
heating cables that are free from
fire hazard. Check with your
electrician or power company re-
presentative for advice on cable
selection and for correct instal-
lation methods.
Do not use salt to melt the
snow and ice on the roof. It will
speed up melting of the ice
around the eave line. BUT it
will rust nails raise beck with
gutters and downspouts and ruin
your ornamentals and next year's
lawn.
A chemical solution to the prob-
lem however is promised by a
number of manufacturers. Chem-
icals now on the market will
melt snow and ice without da-
mage to roofing materials metal
plants the manufacturers say.
Check with your local building
and farm supply stores for these
ice-melting chemicals.
As a final suggestion Davis
urges all householders to resist
the urge to shovel the snow and
ice off the roof. "This approach
to the problem presents a dou-
ble hazard - to your own life
and limbs - and to the roof" the
Extension specialist adds.

"Unfortunately the incipient
