Ice Dam Removal for Minneapolis & St. Paul, plus all the Metro Suburbs
Ice Dams are an all too common sign of frigid Minnesota winters. Ice dams form when snow and ice accumulate on the roof of a house, rather than melting or falling off the roof overhangs and gutters.
Beware: if you have ice dams on your buildings they can cause major damage. As the ice forces its way underneath the roofing shingles it will eventually work its way underneath, lifting them up and creating an opening, so you no longer have a water tight seal. You might not have any problems now, but once the temperature warms up and the snow starts to melt you may experience water leaking in through your roofs, ceilings and down the interior walls buildings creating major problems for you and your tenants.

Most Popular FAQ’s
How do professionals remove ice dams?
Professionals typically use steam to remove ice dams safely. Steamers apply low-pressure, high-temperature steam to melt the ice without damaging the roofing materials. This method effectively removes ice dams without causing harm to the shingles or other parts of the roof, unlike other methods that might involve chemicals or excessive force.

What chemicals are used to remove ice dams?
Chemical ice melt products, such as calcium chloride, can sometimes be used to help break down ice dams. However, professional removal typically relies on steam, which is safer for the roof. Chemical methods are less commonly used by professionals, as improper application can damage roofing materials or gutters.
How can we protect against ice dams?
To protect against ice dams, ensure your attic is properly insulated and ventilated to prevent heat from escaping and melting snow unevenly. Clearing gutters and removing snow from the roof can also help. Installing heating cables along the edges of the roof can further prevent ice dam formation by keeping critical areas warm during freezing conditions.
