Once an ice dam has developed, you need to reach out to an ice dam removal professional. A good ice dam company is a fully insured professional with the right steaming equipment and skills that can efficiently and safely remove an ice dam and not damage your roof.

There are only a few good ice dam professionals in most major metro areas who know exactly what they’re doing. You need a professional who has many years of ice dam removal experience. Removing ice dams is a dangerous, complex, professional job, requiring specialized equipment, and training when it is done properly.
