Ice Dams are extremely damaging to your home. At least they will damage your gutter and
                            shingles, but the real damage is when they back up water into your home causing 10's of
                            thousands in water damage.
                        
                        
                            Ice dam can cause very long term damage by exposing the roof and interior walls of your home
                            to long term water. These slow or fast onset of water can cause flooding or even worse
                            rotting of the beams or mold behind the walls.
                        
                        
                            Our highly experienced techs use the only low pressure high heat steam to gently cut the
                            blocks of ice off of your roof. Our system is specifically designed just for steaming roofs.
                            This process will not damage the roof or home in any way at all. Once we have removed all
                            the ice from the gutters and roof we can then assess the situation. It may just be that the
                            gutters need to be cleaned and flushed. If need be we can fix the gutter so they drain
                            properly or remove the gutters if needed.
                        
                        What Is Ice Dam Steaming?
                        We get asked all the time “what is ice dam steaming?” Ice dam steaming is the process of
                            converting cold water into gentle low pressure steam and directing the spray of steam
                            through a special nozzle to melt through and underneath the ice dam to remove it from the
                            roof and gutters. Ice dam steaming is the safest and fastest way to remove ice dams from any
                            roof. Ice dam steaming is the gentlest solution for properties with a roof leak. Low
                            pressure ice dam steaming is the method most preferred nationwide by roofing manufacturers
                            and insurance companies. Why, because low pressure steam cannot cut through roofing
                            materials like a hot pressure washer and will not cause future damage. At the very minimum a
                            pressure washer will remove granules from the shingle and cause premature roof failure, and
                            shorten the life of the shingle.
                        Ice dam steaming is the safest way to remove ice dams from your roof. It is never ever
                            recommended to use a pressure washer or blunt force objects on roofs. Hot pressure washers
                            cannot produce steam and do not run low enough pressure to be safe. Pressurized water has
                            the ability to cut materials and steam does not. Everyone considering hiring someone for
                            this service should learn how to distinguish between low pressure ice dam steaming equipment
                            and a hot pressure washer.
                        Pounding, hammers, chisels, chemicals, salt and pressure washers will often cause damage to
                            shingles and roofs, and are best suited for melting ice from sidewalks and parking lots.
                            Using high temperature water that flashes into gentle steam in a pattern that quickly cuts
                            solid ice, professional ice dam removal equipment provides effective ice dam melting results
                            that are safer for homes and businesses.
                        Three things that you should look for to ensure the company doing the ice dam removal is
                            using correct equipment.
                        1) A low pressure steamer should never have a trigger on the gun! 
                        2) A low pressure steamer will never need to be connected to hot water! 
                        3) A low pressure steamer should never have a colored plastic tip on the gun!
