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.

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.

Ice Dam Removal/Steaming Robbinsdale MN

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 reasons this home had ice dams were the large amounts of snow covering the vents at the top of the roof and the insulation was under code. Continue reading

Hiring a company that truly cares about the customer and their property is very important. Not every company will have your best interests in mind. Many companies are using pressure washers which they are claiming is a steamer. Here are a few things to consider before hiring. Will the company use a steamer designed only for ice dam removal? (about 100 P.S.I and a temperature of 250– 300 degrees F) Is the company insured for ice dam removal? Does the company use OSHA. approved safety equipment? Will they remove all the snow on the roof? (If not find someone else) Will there be more than one person on site at all times? (Never just one person!) Are they a sub-contractor working for someone else? It is always best to hire an actual company over a sub-contractor. Check to make sure of the above details and you should be in good shape or contact us to learn more.  Continue reading
