Why Is It Important to Clear the Snow from Your Roof?
Even if the snow on your roof does not bother you on a daily basis, it could cause problems if you leave it there too long. Here are a few reasons that will convince you to opt for snow and ice removal services:
Prevent water infiltration
When the snow accumulates on your roof, it can restrain or even prevent water from reaching the gutters. This leads to overflowing or an accumulation of water around the roof or on the edges. In turn, this situation gives rise to “overflow penetration,” which can cause serious interior damages.
Ensure people’s safety and protect your property
The snow and ice on your roof are a constant threat to the people and animals that walk under it. In fact, no one is safe from snow suddenly falling off your roof, causing injuries or property damages.
Protect your roof and extend its lifespan
The weight of snow and ice can become very heavy. This situation can lead to roof sagging, a problem that requires costly repairs.
Prevent roof collapse
In extreme cases, snow buildup can even cause the roof to collapse. Clearing the snow on your roof is essential to avoid this type of damage.
At Toiture MR, we offer snow removal services for residential and commercial roofs to protect your roof and ensure the safety of your family and clients.
When Should You Remove Snow from Your Roof?
Of course, you do not need to take out your shovel and clear the snow on your roof as soon as you see the first snowflakes. We recommend clearing the snow on your roof after a significant snowfall or when you notice one of the following signs:
- Strange wastewater or sewage smell inside.
- Difficulty opening or closing the front door; this may be caused by pressure changes.
- Cracking sounds coming from the structure.
Please note that the older the roof, the greater the risk of collapse. For fast and efficient services, do not hesitate to hire our specialists to clear the snow on your roof.
Steam De-Icing: Removing Ice Without Damaging Your Roof
In addition to our roof snow removal services, we have invested in a steamer that can gently remove ice from your roof. Discover why our customers also appreciate this service.
The accumulation of ice on the roof weighs heavily on the structure, and ice dams can be responsible for water infiltration, which requires emergency intervention. Formerly, and this is often still the case with some roof snow removal teams, de-icing was done using an ice pick, a mechanical saw or by spreading salt on the roof.
As a result, it was often difficult to do a great de-icing job without damaging components like the gutters. With our new steamer, we can remove the ice in your drains, gutters, mansard roof or the overall roof without damaging any components.
Roof heat cables also constitute a preventive solution against ice buildup. Contact us for more information on installing heating cables on your roof.
