ICE DAM REMOVAL SERVICE IN MASSACHUSETTS

The Ice Dam removal is the authority on ice dam removal and prevention. For more than 20 years, we have been clearing snow and ice off of houses and businesses. There's a reason why every year they develop: Kare 11, KSTP, Fox 9, WCCO, and the Star Tribune turn to us for our knowledge and ice dam advice. We are honest about our methods and are knowledgeable about what we do.

Utilising steam is the most secure and effective approach to clear ice jams from your house. A steamer and a high temperature pressure washer are completely unrelated. Despite having little in common, the two are commonly used interchangeably.

Are we qualified to securely remove ice? No doubt. But that's just the beginning of the value we offer you. Professional roofers, surrounded by experts in home efficiency, with a nationally renowned, award-winning remodelling firm on top. Additionally, we are a business on the North Shore.


Removal of Ice Dam With Steam

It's crucial to remember that many businesses substitute high-temperature pressure washers for steamers. The majority of businesses that claim to use steamers are either dishonest or ignorant. A steamer will never have a triggered gun, which is the easiest method to distinguish between the two. Using a real steamer is the most secure method for clearing ice from your roof or gutters.

Initially, the prices that firms offer for ice dam removal may seem expensive. The risks associated in removing ice dams, the expense of the necessary equipment, and the skill required to do so safely all contribute to the cost of doing so. When our ice professionals must put in more overtime to keep up with demand, our hourly fee changes. At a rate of approximately 10 lineal feet per hour, ice dams of average size can be safely removed. Most ice dam removal jobs, including setup, takedown, and cleanup, take 1-3 hours.

Important Things Clients Should Follow To Prevent Ice Dam To Occur:


  1. Have the snow removed from your roof, in particular if you start to see icicles forming. The cost of doing this work a few times a winter pales in comparison to the cost of dealing with water damage.
  2. Check the attic or rafter space for adequate insulation. One of our qualified insulation consultants can provide this service for you. Just call for an appointment. Proper insulation is a major ally in ice dam prevention.
  3. Make certain your roof system has good ventilation for appropriate ice dam prevention. Proper ventilation will allow for the movement of air through the roof system (i.e., the attic and rafter spaces). This reduces the amount of warm air that builds up in the attic or rafter spaces and thus reduces the melting snow that causes ice dams.
  4. Make sure all penetrations through your ceiling are sealed and insulated. Bath fans, plumbing vents and recessed ceiling cans are some of the biggest culprits in allowing warm air to get into the attic. Think of it this way. If you were to pressurise your home with hot air, imagine all of the areas that air would want to escape into the attic. For optimal ice dam prevention, seal and insulate them all.
  5. Add heat tape to the lower few feet of roof in areas where ice dams keep occurring from year to year. It’s best to address insulation and ventilation before making this move because no amount of heat tape will compensate for poor ice dam prevention in those categories.
  6. If you have recessed lights in your ceiling below an unheated space such as an attic or a truss cavity, try to minimise their use. Likewise, avoid turning on any recessed lights in the exterior soffits of your home (if present). Recessed lights generate a tremendous amount of heat and are seldom insulated and sealed properly. The net result is heat escaping into spaces where heat should not be during the winter. Additionally, replacing heat-generating incandescent and halogen bulbs with compact fluorescent or LED bulbs is an easy way to reduce the amount of unwanted heat in your attic or truss cavities.
  7. If you have rooms with vaulted ceilings try to keep them a bit cooler than the rest of the home if possible, in particular if these spaces are seldom used. A basic ice dam prevention technique is to close off the heating supplies and return to the extent that you are comfortable in areas associated with past ice dams.
  8. Install heat tape. Heat tape, otherwise known as heat cable or roof de-icing cable, is a relatively affordable solution to ice dams when compared to architectural solutions such as insulation. There are certain circumstances when heat tape makes the most sense.
