The first step in proper ice dam removal is completely removing all the snow from the roof. As you can see from the picture this is a standard practice for us. A lot of companies will\u00a0come and only remove the snow and ice along the\u00a0bottom edges of the roof, leaving all the snow above to melt down and create another ice dam. This\u00a0should never be done.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The second step in proper ice dam removal is steaming the roof from the top down as described in our video below and shown in the picture to the left. This allows the roof\u00a0to slowly\u00a0warm and expand. One of the most important considerations when hiring an ice dam removal company is to make sure they are using a high temperature\/low p.s.i. steamer and not a hot water pressure washer with a\u00a0low temperature\/high p.s.i. This is one of the biggest scams in the industry and these phony ice dam removal machines can severely damage your roof, even some of the biggest names in the industry are using pressure washers.\u00a0A few ways to distinguish these phony\u00a0machines from steamers\u00a0are as follows: A trigger on the handle which starts and stops the flow of water indicates a pressure washer (a steamer will not have a trigger on the gun to control the water\/steam), a pressure washer will have a colored plastic tip at the end of the gun (a steamer uses a small round pipe about the size and diameter of a pointer finger) a pressure washer will generally use a\u00a0clear hose with a visible braided line inside\u00a0from the machine to the gun (a steamer hose will generally be black or blue with no visible braided line inside) We always run our machines with a pressure and temperature gauge to inform the owners that we are using the correct equipment. We like to be very\u00a0straight forward\u00a0and informative about our machines.\u00a0If you have any questions about a so called steamer, or to schedule your residential or commercial ice dam removal\/steaming please give us a call or text at 612-919-4185<\/a> or contact us<\/a> via our website. Let us know if you have a leak and we will\u00a0try to get\u00a0to you\u00a0as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n
