Heavy Snowfall Can Cause Issues
Excess weight can cause structural damage, while ice damming occurs when melted snow refreezes at the roof’s base, trapping water under shingles and potentially causing leaks. Large chunks of ice hanging from your roof pose a danger to people and property, particularly in homes with blocked eavestroughs, poor insulation, or inadequate attic ventilation, which is common in Ottawa.

FAQs
Find answers to common questions about our rooftop snow and ice removal services below.
What causes ice dams, and how can they be prevented?
Ice dams form when heat from your attic melts snow on the roof, causing water to flow down and refreeze at the roof’s edge. Proper insulation and ventilation in your attic, along with snow removal, can help prevent ice dams. Installing heat trace cables is also an effective solution.
Should I hire you for snow removal, heat trace cables, or attic insulation upgrades?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, as it depends on your home’s needs. If your attic insulation is over 10 years old, upgrading it first is a smart move—it helps prevent ice dams and can lower heating costs. If you plan to replace your roof soon, you might want to hold off on heat trace cables and focus on snow removal for now. Some homes are more prone to ice damming and may benefit from heat trace cables, but regular snow removal along the roof edges will make them work more effectively.
Can you install heat trace cables to prevent ice dams?
Yes, we install commercial-grade heat trace cables to prevent ice dams by keeping the edges of your roof warm enough to prevent snowmelt from refreezing. This is a great solution for homes prone to ice damming.
How do you remove snow and ice from my roof safely?
Our team uses specialized equipment and techniques to safely remove snow and ice from your roof. We prioritize the safety of your property, ensuring that no damage is caused to your roofing materials while efficiently clearing the snow and ice.
