How we prioritise
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 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.
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.
What warranty do you offer on ice dam prevention in Mississauga?
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.
When's the best time of year for ice dam prevention in Mississauga?
Late September through mid-November with Mississauga averaging 95cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
How long does ice dam prevention take in Mississauga?
3–5 hrs is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Do you offer same-day ice dam prevention in Mississauga?
Usually — call before 9am and we'll confirm a same-day arrival window inside Mississauga for most standard scopes.
Is ice dam prevention covered by home insurance in Mississauga?
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.
Do you need a permit for ice dam prevention in Mississauga?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Mississauga. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
