ROOF SNOW REMOVAL: METHODS AND PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE
Roof snow removal is an essential task to prevent structural damage and water infiltration caused by snow and ice accumulation, especially in Montreal. Both flat and sloped roofs can be affected by excessive snow loads, which can cause sagging, leaks and even collapses. It is important to use appropriate tools, such as non-metal snow shovels, to avoid damaging the roof surface. Roof rakes can be used to remove accumulated snow from a distance. When removing snow, it is crucial to follow a safe method, starting at the bottom of the roof and working upwards to avoid snow avalanches. Calling on snow removal professionals is often recommended for roofs that are difficult to access or for heavy snow loads. These experts use specialized techniques and equipment to safely remove snow and minimize risks to the roof structure. By taking these precautions, you can protect your roof and extend its life.
