We were called to this home in Dayton MN to remove the snow and steam the ice dams because the homeowner had a leak near the skylights. There are three skylights almost completely hidden under the snow. See us up on the roof steaming in the video below. Call or text us at 612-919-4185 or contact us here.

Below each skylight there was large amounts of ice. In the video above 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. Ice dams under skylights is a very common problem because the snow sits on the warm glass and melts down below and freezes. 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 video above was taken on the roof and explains the steaming process and also explains how to identify a pressure washer from a steamer. This is very important information if you are in need of ice dam steaming.

We were called to this home in Hopkins MN to do ice dam removal/steaming because the tenants had water coming inside this window. When we arrived we noticed that the ice was running down the outside of the building. This is a huge warning sign to remove the ice dams immediately. Unfortunately the warning signs were missed and water came into the home. When we got up on the roof we noticed that the snow was very heavy and wet, a typical sign of poor insulation. And once we started steaming the ice dams near the gutters we noticed the gutters were filled with leaves.

This surely did not help the melt water to flow freely out of the gutters. Below is a video we did of this ice dam removal job in Hopkins MN. In the video we describe how to tell the difference between a pressure washer and a steamer. This is important information when considering a company for ice dam removal.

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. This was a contributing factor to the ice dam formation. The main two reasons however, that this home had ice dams, were number one, the large amounts of snow covering the vents at the top of the roof and number two, the insulation was under code. The debris filled gutters and valley also did not help.
