Active leaks, gas smell, and animal-in-flue jump the queue over cosmetic ice dam prevention work. We text realistic ETAs, not "we'll get to it."
Common questions
What warranty do you offer on ice dam prevention in King?
Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
Do you need a permit for ice dam prevention in King?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in King. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
Do you offer same-day ice dam prevention in King?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside King for most standard scopes.
When's the best time of year for ice dam prevention in King?
Late September through mid-November with King averaging 156cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
Do you service condos and heritage homes in King?
Yes. Condo boards in King typically want a scope letter and insurance certificate 48 hours out; heritage properties need product substitutions we pre-source.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
Is ice dam prevention covered by home insurance in King?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
