Roof snow removal is recommended when more than 60 cm (23 in.) of compacted snow has accumulated. De-icing should also be considered when ice buildup exceeds 17 cm (6 in.).
Proper knowledge, equipment, and techniques are essential to avoid damaging the roofing membrane. A protective layer of approximately 7 to 8 cm (about 3 in.) should be left in place to help prevent damage to the roofing system.
A roof inspection before snow removal is also recommended, as snow density plays an important role in determining the appropriate removal method. Significant ice accumulation can increase the risk of structural failure and pose a hazard to people near the building.
