Even when the storm hits, our teams are there to help.
Last week, a major winter storm hit several regions of Quebec, leaving behind exceptional snow accumulations, exceeding 70 centimetres in places.
This type of weather event represents a major challenge for condominiums. The weight of snow, high winds and temperature variations considerably increase the risks to buildings, particularly in terms of occupant safety and structural integrity.
From the very first hours of the storm, Laucandrique’s teams quickly mobilized to take proactive charge of the situation.
A rapid, structured response
Faced with extreme weather conditions, our teams took concrete action to prevent risks and ensure the safety of the buildings under our management:
rapid communication to reassure co-owners;
preventive roof inspections ;
checking the general condition of buildings ;
increased monitoring of high-risk areas ;
coordination with suppliers when necessary.
This mobilization had a clear objective: to limit the impact of the storm and prevent major damage.
A particular challenge for buildings near the river
For some condominiums located near the river, weather conditions presented an additional challenge.
The strong winds caused heavy snow to accumulate on roofs, increasing the risk :
structural overload ;
of water infiltration during periods of thaw;
ice formation and snow dams.
Thanks to the vigilance, rapid intervention and expertise of our teams, critical areas were quickly identified and monitored, significantly reducing risks and avoiding major inconvenience for co-owners.
Prevention at the heart of our approach
Extreme weather events are a reminder of the importance of rigorous, proactive building management.
At Laucandrique, we believe that prevention is the best protection:
regular inspections ;
increased surveillance during storms ;
clear communication with co-owners ;
rapid intervention when the situation calls for it.
This approach not only protects buildings, but also ensures peace of mind for boards of directors and occupants.
A committed team, summer and winter alike
We would like to emphasize the professionalism, availability and constant commitment of our employees, who are there for us whatever the conditions.
Their rapid mobilization, rigor and sense of responsibility make all the difference when exceptional situations like this arise.
We would also like to thank our customers for their continued trust. It is thanks to this collaboration that we can ensure efficient, safe and sustainable management of the condominiums entrusted to us.
