  • 01 Roof & Gutter Inspection Our technician starts with a full visual assessment of your roof edge, gutters, and downspouts. We identify the size and location of every ice dam and check for early signs of water intrusion inside the home.
  • 02 Low-Pressure Steam Application We use commercial-grade steamers that heat water to over 250 °F. The steam melts ice quickly and safely without the impact damage that chipping, salting, or high-pressure water can cause to shingles and flashing.
  • 03 Downspout & Drainage Clearing Once the dam is removed, we flush your gutters and downspouts to restore proper water flow. Blocked drainage is one of the main reasons ice dams return, so we make sure every channel is clear.
  • 04 Damage Assessment After the ice is gone, we inspect the area for lifted shingles, cracked flashing, or softened fascia boards. If we spot damage, we document it with photos so you have what you need for an insurance claim.
  • 05 Prevention Tips & Follow-Up Before we leave, we walk you through simple steps to reduce future ice dams — from attic ventilation checks to scheduling a fall gutter cleaning. Many of our customers add a seasonal maintenance plan to stay ahead of winter.

Ice dam removal questions answered

Everything you need to know about ice dams and our removal process.

Ice dams form when heat from inside your home escapes through the roof, melting snow on the upper sections. The meltwater runs down to the colder roof edge and refreezes, creating a ridge of ice that traps water behind it. Poor attic insulation, inadequate ventilation, and clogged gutters all make the problem worse.

We use commercial-grade low-pressure steamers that heat water to over 250 °F. The steam melts ice quickly and safely without the impact damage that chipping, salting, or high-pressure water can cause to shingles, flashing, and gutters. It's the safest method available for ice dam removal.

Ice dam removal cost depends on the size of your home, severity of the ice buildup, and roof access. We provide clear, upfront pricing before any work begins — no surprises. Most residential jobs range from a few hundred dollars to around $1,000, depending on the scope.

The best prevention is a combination of proper attic insulation, adequate roof ventilation, and keeping your gutters clean. We recommend scheduling a fall gutter cleaning before winter to ensure proper drainage. After removal, our team walks you through specific steps to reduce the chance of ice dams returning.
