Dangers We Help You Avoid
Sure, snow adds a nice wintry look to your facility, but it’s not meant to be a decoration. Snow shouldn’t be something you need to worry about, but extensive buildup can certainly add to your stress level. If you let snow remain on your roof for too long, it can cause a serious risk for a roof collapse or ice dam buildup. Should this happen, you’ll have your work cut out for you this winter. But Rainville-Carlson works proactively so you don’t have to deal with these expensive frustrations. When you work with us, you have an expert on your side who’s prepared the moment the snow starts to fall.
Roof Collapse Prevention
Commercial properties are especially susceptible to roof collapse. Even a small pool of water on the surface can pose a threat of the roof caving in. Rainville-Carlson won’t let that happen. We don’t sit back and wait for the snow to start melting before we take action. Our experts take a proactive approach to keep your roof from sagging and straining. After removing the initial layer of snow, we scrape off the ice while carefully avoiding puncturing the surface. From there, we restore the roof to its initial condition so it’s not damaged by any snowfall that follows.
Ice Damming Removal
An ice dam forms when snow melts, runs down your roof, and freezes near the overhang. When this happens, it builds a wall that traps snow in smaller crevices of your roofing system. If your roof has too many ice dams, your building is at high risk for leaks. Our experts work tirelessly to eliminate those threats. By taking immediate action to remove the snow from your roof, we’re able to clear the entire space from ice dam threats. We meticulously apply a sealant over all crevices so ice damming doesn’t cause water to seep into your building.
