Residential Ice Dam Removal

An ice dam is a wall of ice that builds up at the edge of your home's roof, at the gutters or soffit. When ice dams form they cause water to back up behind the ice dam and creates a pool of water on your roof. This pool of water can leak into your home and cause damage to walls, ceilings, insulation, and other areas. Ice dam steaming removal is safe because it will not damage your roof or gutters. Ice dam steaming is by far the safest and fastest way to remove ice dams from any roof.

Roof Snow Removal and Raking

To prevent ice dams from forming on your roof it is very important to remove the snow that builds on your roof during the winter months in Western New York. We also provide roof snow removal and snow raking to prevent ice dams before they happen.

Below are some important reasons why you need to remove your ice dams and snow from your roof as soon as possible

Reason 1: Ice dams often cause water to leak through your roof and into your home. That water can cause all kinds of expensive interior water damage resulting in mold, ruined furniture, and damage to the interior of your home. Sometimes you will see a few small leaks before it gets worse, sometimes the leaking can be heavy right away. Leaking is the biggest reason to get ice dams removed before long-term damage is caused to your home.

Reason 2: Ice dams will cause more snow and ice to accumulate. Snow likes to stick to, pile up on and around your ice dams, and icicles often form on or near ice dams. That snow and ice can fall off your roof, causing damage to property.

Reason 3: Ice dams make it harder to keep your roof snow-free. Ice dams get in the way of your raking the snow on your roof. Not keeping up with roof-raking is a major reason you have ice dams in the first place.
