Ice dams trap melting snow, causing water to back up under shingles and leak directly into attics, ceilings, and walls. Many contractors rely on hammers, ice picks, or high-pressure power washers that puncture shingles, damage gutters, and destroy roof decking, but not us!
We exclusively use low-pressure steaming, which is the only proven, safe method designed specifically to melt ice without harming your home's exterior. Whether you are dealing with an active winter leak or want to clear heavy overhangs before ice dams form, our experienced local team provides fast, transparent, and reliable winter relief.
Attempting to hack away at ice dams with sharp tools destroys roof shingles and tears gutters away from fascia boards. Chemical ice melts can stain siding, corrode metal components, and damage surrounding landscaping.
Our commercial-grade steamers generate high-temperature water vapor at low pressure. The gentle heat cuts through dense ice blocks like a hot knife through butter, loosening ice ridges so they slide off safely in workable sections. Once the ice dam is removed, we thoroughly steam open your clogged gutters and downspouts to re-establish clear drainage paths for continuous snowmelt.
Ignoring an ice dam causes water to collect in pools behind the ice ridge. Over time, that standing water seeps beneath shingles, ruining insulation, rotting roof sheathing, and causing drywall ceilings to collapse.
By combining low-pressure steam removal with complimentary roof snow clearing, we eliminate both the immediate water hazard and the snowpack feeding the problem. Here's how we ensure superior protection for your Twin Cities home:
Gentle, high-heat vapor melts thick ice ridges safely without damaging delicate shingles, flashing, or gutter coils.
We clear heavy snow accumulation off the roof sections we steam at no additional charge to prevent immediate refreezing.
Complete steaming of downspouts and gutters to ensure melting water drains freely off your roofline.
Detailed documentation and transparent billing to assist with claims, as ice dam removal is often covered by insurance.
