Flat roof snow removal
Flat roofs on commercial or industrial buildings may be built with strong materials, but they still cannot support the weight of an entire winter’s snow. Did you know that snow saturated with water or ice can weigh close to 1,000 pounds per cubic meter? Imagine the total load on your roof.
Excess weight can cause the roof to sag and damage its structure. Regular snow removal helps prevent costly issues. Our team specializes in commercial and industrial flat roof snow removal. We remove snow carefully to avoid damaging the elastomeric membrane roofing or EPDM roofing. We leave a thin layer of snow to prevent direct contact with the membrane.
To carry out our work safely, we follow the safety practices recommended by the Régie du bâtiment (secure ground dumping zones, restricted access to safety perimeters, a 2-meter buffer zone near roof edges, guardrails on both sides of the dumping area on the roof, etc.).
Sloped roof snow removal
Allowing snow to accumulate on a residential or commercial sloped roof can be dangerous for occupants and passersby. In addition, the weight of the snow puts significant stress on the structure of your home, multi-unit building or commercial property.
If you never remove snow from your roof, certain signs will indicate that it is under stress: doors that do not close properly, cracks in walls, creaking sounds, etc. Let us handle your roof snow removal safely.

The Régie du bâtiment recommends removing snow from your roof when accumulation reaches 70 cm. However, we recommend not waiting until it becomes a hazard. Wet snow that compacts and then melts can create runoff and icicles along roof edges, leading to water infiltration during thawing.
