Ice Dam Removal
Ice & Snow Steaming Ice Dam Removal In The Twin Cities
An ice dam is an accumulation of ice at the roof edge and in the gutters that prevents melting snow from draining off the roof. This is caused by your house leaking heat and melting areas of the roof, but freezing before the water can exit through your gutters. If left untreated, the backed-up water behind the dam may leak into your home. This can cause damage to walls, ceilings, and insulation, or lead to the growth of mold and mildew. EZ Home Solutions can come out to remove ice dams and provide an inspection to see if any damage occurred and to what extent.
Roof maintenance and protection is a vital part of the roofing repair and inspection process. Removing ice and snow is a simple way to take care of your roof and ensure the inside of your home stays protected. Whenever you notice ice dams on your home (or even when you’re not sure) call us to schedule an inspection & removal.
The safe solution to ice dams
At EZ Home Solutions we only use steam to remove ice and snow. Steaming will ensure your roof won't be damaged, compared to a hot-pressure washer that can ruin shingles as well as leave a dangerous amount of water. Steam has less water runoff and removes ice faster. Our steamers are specifically designed for ice dam removal and can be operated at temperatures well below freezing.
Removing the ice and snow is just one step toward the solution. We will also inspect your property to ensure there is no further damage. Afterward, provide you with options for what you can do to prevent ice dams from forming on your roof in the future. If you need snow or ice removal give EZ Home Solutions a call at 952-544-7663 today!
Ice dams should be removed as soon as they are noticed. If left untreated, ice dams can cause water to pool on the roof, which can lead to leaks and damage to the roof and the interior of the building. In addition, the weight of the ice can damage gutters and downspouts. It is important to remove ice dams before they cause significant damage to the roof and the building. This can be done by using a roof rake to remove snow from the roof, or by hiring a professional to remove the ice dams.
Roofs are designed to shed water, not hold water. So even a new roof can be at risk of leaking if there is a sufficient amount of water.
- Make sure your ceiling is air-tight and not leaking into the attic space to prevent hot air from escaping your house.
- Properly insulating your attic will keep your shingles at the same temperature as the outside air, preventing snow from melting and turning into ice. You can either let the sun take care of it or remove any snow buildup with a snow rake.
