Winnipeg winters demand a professional thermal approach. Protect your shingle warranty and structural integrity with safe steam technology.
AVERAGE ANNUAL SNOWFALL
Heavy accumulation creates the fuel for massive ice barriers at your eaves.
FREEZE-THAW CYCLES
The cycle of melting snow refreezing into a solid ice dam happens faster here than anywhere in Canada.
INSULATION STANDARD
Winnipeg homes require superior attic thermal resistance to prevent snowmelt at the roof deck.
Using axes, hammers, or shovels on frozen roofs is catastrophic. Asphalt shingles become brittle glass in Winnipeg lows. Impact tools void GAF/CertainTeed warranties instantly.
Professional steaming uses 150°C low-pressure vapor to melt ice without force. This is the only manufacturer-approved method that preserves shingle granules and underlayment.
Once external temperatures drop below -15°C, asphalt shingles lose their flexibility. Any mechanical impact at this stage creates micro-fractures that lead to spring flooding.
Long-term home health relies on these three pillars.
Upgrading to R-50 blocks heat transfer to the roof.
Eliminating bypass leaks around lights and hatches.
Balancing intake and exhaust to keep the deck cold.
Don't wait for water stains to appear. If you see ice ridges, call the professionals at All Weather Exteriors.
