Snow and ice removal
for roofs

Accumulated snow and ice on a roof are not harmless. The combined weight of a significant buildup can stress a building’s structure: cracking noises, ceiling deformations, sticking doors. Ice dams along the roof edge are another common issue. They block meltwater drainage and cause infiltration under the membrane or shingles. Regular snow removal in winter means less damage to deal with in the spring.

You shouldn’t wait until the situation becomes critical. After each significant storm, it’s worth visually assessing the roof’s condition. Signs that call for quick intervention: thick snow buildup over several weeks without melting, icicles forming along the edge, and any unusual indoor signs such as bulging ceilings or doors that are hard to close. On flat roofs, vigilance is even more important since snow doesn’t slide off naturally.

Our teams work methodically: assessing the thickness and distribution of the snow, checking the condition of the membrane or shingles before starting, removing snow using the right tools that won’t damage the covering, then de-icing high-risk areas. We also make sure drains and gutters are clear before we leave. All work is done with safety equipment and lifelines. A winter roof remains a high-risk environment, even for pros.

On a single-family home, snow removal mainly focuses on the slopes and overhangs where ice builds up. On a flat commercial roof, the challenge is different: the surface area is larger, loads are heavier, and there are more drains to monitor. Our teams work on both types of buildings, with the right equipment for each setup.
