Foreword:
Aryo Falakrou studied architecture and worked in the field for over 37 years by designing homes and small businesses, helping over 1,000 clients. He is registered as an architectural technologist and respected the rules; he never claimed to be an architect, as he was not interested in becoming a registered architect. But AIBC, the organization controlling the architectural world in BC, picked up on him, forcing him to remove any word in any concept related to “architect.” This is a confirmation that if you see the word “architect” on this page, it doesn’t claim that Aryo is an architect, and he DID NOT want to be a registered architect despite the fact that he loves designing homes for clients to keep them happy. It’s up to you what word you want to use to describe his work. Any word in this blog mentioned as “architect” does not mean that Aryo Falakrou is a registered architect.

Heavy snow on the single-family home’s roof can cause problems.

The condition could be unexpected on the West Coast, which doesn’t snow regularly. Like recent weather caught everyone by surprise.  We had over a week of snow followed by freezing conditions, which didn’t allow the snow on the roofs to melt and compiled for days.

Then another wave of wet snow, which is usually heavier than dry snow, piled over the previous pile. With a bit of rain, the lower layer starts melting and forcing all the piles to the edge of the roof, causing extra weight that most of the roofs are not built for.

So, it’s wise to hire a professional to remove the snow from your roof before any further damage accrues.

Remember, some insurance companies do not cover the snow buildup, and you don’t want to end up evacuating your house this holiday season due to the roof damage!!!!
