Roof Service
Commercial Roof Snow Removal
Heavy snow and drifts stress commercial roofs every Wisconsin winter. Our crews evaluate the roof and remove snow carefully, safely and quickly.
Why Snow Load Matters
Many owners don’t realize the stress a large snow load puts on a roof. Heavy buildup can weaken the structure and, in the worst cases, cause a collapse that damages the building, slows operations and risks injury.
Drifting is the most common cause of roof collapse. Wind pushes snow to lower roof levels and traps it against screen walls, and melting and refreezing adds even more weight.
Plan Before Winter
We can evaluate your commercial roof before the season starts, including a roof plan that maps HVAC equipment, drains, scuppers, skylights and other equipment.
- Age and condition of the roof
- Roof elevations where drifts collect
- Maintenance condition and drainage
- Weak decking and other vulnerable areas
Careful, Safe Removal
Inexperienced snow removal can do more damage than the snow itself. Our professional service crews assess the roof’s integrity, remove snow carefully and efficiently, and follow strict safety standards. Inspections during and after big snowfalls help prevent costly repairs and extend the life of your roof.
