Roof Snow Removal
A Snow-Free Roof
Quebec winters put your roof to the test. Excessive snow and ice build-up can cause collapses, water infiltration, and structural damage. Preventive snow removal protects your home and reduces the risk of costly emergency repairs.
A carefree winter starts with a well-maintained roof
When and How to Clear Snow
Good maintenance starts with prevention. Here are a few signs that snow removal is needed:
- Unusual Noises in the Structure of the House (Creaking, Squeaking).
- Accumulation of More than 60 cm of Snow on the Roof.
- Formation of Icicles or Ice Dams at the Edge of the Roof.
- Water Seepage or Damp Stains on Ceilings and Interior Walls.
The Risks of a Snow-Covered Roof
An unkempt roof can lead to major problems:
Snow overload threatens the integrity of the structure.
Melting snow that creates leaks through the roof.
Formation of icicles preventing water drainage.
Risk to occupants and passers-by.
Did You Know?
A load of wet snow can weigh several tons, exerting immense pressure on your structure. Don't try to clear the snow yourself! The wrong technique can damage your roof or cause accidents. Call on equipped and trained professionals in Greater Montreal and on the South Shore.
