Why do ice dams happen?
Ice dams often result from heat loss, snow melt/refreeze cycles, and poor ventilation or insulation patterns. Water backs up and can enter vulnerable areas.
What is ice dam steaming and is it safe?
Ice dam steaming uses specialized low-pressure steam equipment to safely melt ice without damaging shingles, flashing, or roof structure. Unlike hammers, chisels, or high-pressure methods, steam removal protects your roof while eliminating the ice dam.
Can ice dams cause leaks?
Yes. Ice dams can force water under shingles or into transitions, leading to interior leaks and damage.
How do you prevent ice dams long-term?
Prevention typically involves better ventilation (when applicable), insulation improvements, and protecting vulnerable roof areas with the right underlayment strategy.
Do you offer emergency ice dam steaming?
Yes. If you have active leaking or heavy ice buildup, contact us for emergency ice dam steaming service. We respond quickly to prevent further water damage.
Do you repair damage after ice dams?
