Ice dams are ridges of ice that form along the roof edge in the winter when heat from inside the house melts snow higher up and the water refreezes at the colder edge of the roof. This blocks drainage and forces water back under the shingles where it can leak into ceilings and walls and cause costly damage to the home.
Professional Ice Dam Removal
What are ice dams?
Get rid of ice dams the safe way.
While there are a lot of home repairs you can do yourself, ice dam removal isn’t one of them.
Chopping ice away or melting it with chemicals can damage shingles, corrode metal flashing or gutters, and harm plants and soil around your home’s foundation.
Ice Dam Warning Signs
- You can see ice on roof edge (eaves)
- Ice filled gutters.
- Icicles on gutters or hanging from the eaves.
- Water or ice on outdoor siding or near windows.
- Ice coming from the soffits (the horizontal surface that connects eaves to exterior walls).
- Water stains on interior ceilings or walls.
Steam removal is best.
Throughout extensive Minnesota winters, ice dams build up during melt-freeze-melt periods.
Our professional ice dam removal team uses high-pressure steam equipment to safely clear your home. Steam is the safest and most efficient way to get rid of ice dams without damaging surrounding areas.
