Mobile De-icing Unit
Essential protection for your roofs in winter
Winter in Montreal is anything but gentle on roofs, and accumulated snow often turns into ice, creating significant risks for buildings. This is where the mobile de-icing unit comes into play, a modern and efficient solution offered by Duro Toit. Using a hot water-based de-icing system under pressure, these units effectively remove ice from roofs, gutters, and other exposed surfaces, all while protecting materials and preventing damage. But how does this work, and why choose this method over others?
The mobile de-icing unit operates on a set of rigorous technical specifications. The mobile de-icer is equipped with a diffusion hose connected to a heated water tank. This tank generates pressurized steam, which, when applied to frozen surfaces, melts the ice quickly and gently. Unlike more aggressive methods, such as chemicals or salt, the mobile unit allows for controlled de-icing, minimizing the risk of cracks or damage to shingles and other roofing components. This technology is particularly effective because the system evenly distributes steam, ensuring that every inch of the surface is properly de-iced.
A mobile technology for flexible service
One of the major advantages of this type of service lies in its mobility. The mobile de-icing unit can be transported from one site to another, allowing roofers to quickly respond to clients’ needs across the Montreal region. Whether for residential homes or commercial buildings, this flexibility is a clear asset, especially during particularly harsh winters when the demand for de-icing services increases. Thanks to the mobility of the unit, exposed roofs can be treated swiftly, without having to wait days for an appointment.
Additionally, the mobile unit offers extra protection through its controlled pressure system. You may wonder if such a method could damage your roof. In fact, the water and steam are applied with great precision, and the pressure is adjusted based on the specific needs of each roof. This ensures there is no risk of damage caused by excessive force or improperly calibrated heat. By opting for this service, you are guaranteed a careful, tailored job suited to your roof’s unique configuration.
