How To Roof Rake

1. Be Safe  - Dont stand near falling snow or ice. Don't roof rake a home that has power lines connected to the roof. You will get electricuted. Assemble the rake and use to the directions on the box.

2. Ice Dams - Roof Rake 2-3 feet of the edges of all roofs clear. This allows melting snow to drain and not be trapped under snow and ice that will get into your home.

3. Snow Loading/Collapse. Rake off as much as you can. Keep up with the snow. Deep snow very high up can be a problem and we recommend the Roof Razor for this.

4. Make sure you tighten the bolts very tight so they dont come loose.

Ice Dams and Insurance. According to CPCU 551 Property Text Book.

Basic Form ISO Insurance Policies do not cover collapse from the weight of Ice and Snow

Broad Form ISO Insurance Policies cover collapse from this

Water Damage from Ice Dams is only covered under Special Form policies.

Most likely your insurance does not follow standard ISO forms BUT contact your insurance agent to see if you are covered.
