Ice Dams

Why Steam is the #1 Way to Remove Ice Dams

Water takes several forms, and during a Minnesota winter the most common ones are snow and ice. But on your roof snow melt can form ice dams, leading to thousands of dollars in winter roof damages.

Here’s why a third form–high temperature steam–is your best bet for safely removing ice dams from your home.

Produces less water runoff

Our Arctic Steamer heats water to an optimal temperature of 290°F. This steam then melts the existing ice dam but also evaporates into thin air. Unlike a pressure washer rigged with hot water, you won’t have gallons of excess water gushing off the side of your house and adding to the icy patches on your patio or driveway.

Removes ice faster

With no trigger control, this uninterrupted stream of steam works quickly and effectively. There’s no arm or wrist fatigue, and no fear of the line or nozzle freezing up between passes.

Leaves a cleaner result

High-powered pressure washers can hit your roof hard, leaving weakened or damaged spots in your roofing materials. Torn or loose shingles. Bits of moss and debris flung everywhere. Our professional steaming service removes the ice dams from your roof and leaves it looking freshly washed.

Why hire us for the job?

For one, we have years of experience completing ice dam inspections, evaluations and removals in the Crow Wing County area. For two, our rates are reasonable and our response time is typically within hours.

Fast, affordable, and skilled? That sounds like a winning choice to us. Click here to get a quote for your ice dam removal.
