At a work session before their regular meeting on Monday, May 3, the City Council received a detailed update on the condition of at least a dozen city-owned roofs.

BLUE EARTH The city of Blue Earth owns quite a few buildings in the city, and that translates to a lot of roofs that need maintenance.
At a work session before their regular meeting on Monday, May 3, the City Council received a detailed update on the condition of at least a dozen city-owned roofs.
“The roof inspections were done by Kato Roofing of Mankato,” city administrator Mary Kennedy told the council. “They rated all the roofs from A to F, with A meaning the roof will last 12 to 15 years, with other grades being fewer years remaining before replacement.”

Avoiding ice dams amid thawing temps
Avoiding ice dams amid thawing temps By Bernadette Heier | February 22, 2021 at 9:02 PM CST - Updated February 22 at 9:04 PM
MANKATO, Minn. (KEYC) - Heavy snow buildup on rooftops capped with this weekâs thawing temperatures, creating a concerning condition for homeowners: ice dams.
Ice dams form when the roof over the attic gets warm enough to melt the underside layer of snow on the roof, which can create dangerous icicles or possible leakage inside the home.
âA shingled roof system is meant to shed water not to hold water. So what happens is when the ice dams up and freezes you still have melting water that flows down and kind of pulls up in that area and will back up your roofing system,â Kato Roofing Estimator Michael Voss said.
