Ice Dam Removal
Don’t Let the Cold Cause More Damage to Your Home
Ice dams can form on roofs during cold weather conditions and, if left untreated, can cause serious property damage. Removing an ice dam must be carried out carefully to avoid causing damage to the property. We have carried out ice damming prevention and removal for a number of years and use steaming equipment to melt and remove this harmful element carefully.

An ice dam is a layer of ice that builds along the roof's edge, forming a barrier preventing water from flowing into the gutter. It forms when snow on the roof slowly melts and flows toward the edge, where it freezes before draining away. A backup of water and snow stagnates on the roof, which can cause the water to leak into the property. In the worst cases, it may form large sheets of ice that can fall at any moment, harm the structural integrity, and collapse a portion of your roof.

If left unaddressed, ice dams can cause a great deal of damage. The water sitting against the dam can leak through the roof into the home, causing damage to the ceilings, walls, cavity insulations, and other surfaces. Repairing this can easily skyrocket compared to the relatively small cost of ice dam removal.

If you think you have an ice dam forming or can see one starting on your roof, we can remove it. We strongly suggest you leave the removal process to the experts. Not only is it dangerous trying to get to your roof in cold and slippery conditions, but chipping away or hitting the ice may damage your property. If a sheet has formed, breaking a lower portion may cause an ice slide, which can be life-threatening if not handled professionally.
We have a trained team of professionals with high-power steaming equipment. This is the safest and most effective way to remove ice dams, ensuring your property is not damaged. Call us today, and we will be happy to carry out an inspection and provide a quote for the work.
