Below each skylight there was large amounts of ice. In the video below we have exposed the skylights and are steaming the ice from the roof. The roof was very steep so the steaming was done from the roof and also from a ladder.

It is very difficult to prevent this from happening but there are a few ways that have proven to be very successful. If you would like to learn more please call us at 612-919-4185.

The snow on this roof was very deep and heavy. Under the snow we discovered that the ice went back about halfway up the roof on all sides. Once we started steaming off the ice dams we discovered that the gutters all the way around the roof were filled with leaves. Also in the valley were the leak was, we found a huge pile of leaves.
