What causes ice dams?

Ice dams form when heat escapes through the roof, melting snow that refreezes at the cold roof edge. Poor ventilation and insulation are the main culprits.

How do ice dams damage my roof?

Ice dams cause water to back up under shingles, leading to leaks, damaged insulation, mold growth, and even structural damage to your home.

Can you remove ice dams safely?

Yes! We use steam removal methods that safely eliminate ice dams without damaging your roof. Never use picks or chisels on ice dams.

What is the best ice dam prevention?

The best prevention is proper attic ventilation and insulation. Heat cables provide additional protection for problem areas. We assess and recommend the right solution for your home.
