The accumulation of snow or ice on the roof of a house or business exposes occupants and passers-by to dangers of varying degrees of severity. Regular snow and ice removal is therefore essential. This operation should preferably be carried out by a professional.
Snow and ice removal: what does it involve?
Snow removal consists in getting rid of the layer of snow that accumulates on the roof of a residence or professional building.
De-icing consists in removing the layers of ice that have formed after a succession of snowmelt and thaw periods.
Why remove snow and ice from your roof?
It’s important to clear snow or ice from the roof of your home or business before the layer of snow or ice reaches 70 cm. Here’s why.
To avoid infrastructure damage
The roof is in danger of collapsing under the weight of accumulated snow or ice. It could even collapse if it’s no longer in very good condition.
The accumulation of snow and ice on the roof can also lead to waterproofing problems and cracks in the walls. In all cases, the cost of repairs can be high.
To ensure the safety of occupants and passers-by
Collapsing roofs can cause considerable human and material damage, especially in busy commercial buildings.
Moreover, falling snow or ice can injure passers-by, or even kill them in extreme cases.
