Ice dams are primarily caused by the combination of snow accumulation on a roof, sub-freezing temperatures, and heat escaping from the interior of a building. When the heat from the building melts the snow on the roof, the water flows down to the eaves, where it refreezes due to the colder exterior temperatures. This repeated freezing and thawing can lead to the formation of ice dams.

We use a combination of plastic shovels and the Arctic Steamer from American Pressure to safely and effectively remove snow and ice from your roof. Plastic shovels help us gently remove excess snow, while the Arctic Steamer, which utilizes low pressure and high temperature steam, allows us to melt and eliminate ice dams without causing damage to your roof's structure or shingles. This approach ensures a safe and efficient solution for snow and ice removal from your roof.

The cost of ice dam removal can be attributed to several factors. First and foremost, we make significant investments in specialized equipment to ensure the safe and efficient removal of ice from your roof. Our technicians' safety is paramount, as they often work on icy ladders and rooftops, making the task inherently dangerous. Furthermore, the ice dam season is typically short-lived, often spanning just a few weeks, which means we must cover our operational expenses in a limited timeframe. Additionally, the high cost of insurance is crucial to safeguarding both our team and your property. Lastly, running our specialized equipment requires a considerable amount of fuel, further contributing to the overall expense. Despite the cost, our commitment to safety and expertise ensures your peace of mind during the challenging winter season.
