As Featured in ABC 5: Winter Roof Safety Spotlight
In this news feature, homeowners get a close look at:
- How ice dams form during winter storms
- Why water backs up under shingles and into your home
- Early warning signs of roof leaks and gutter ice
- Why safe steam-based removal helps prevent roof damage
The spotlight reinforces a key message: when ice dams form, professional steam removal helps protect your roof and your home.
How Do Ice Dams Form in the Northern United States?
Ice dams do not appear overnight. They start when heat from inside the building escapes into the attic and warms the roof. Poor attic insulation and heavy snow buildup make it worse.
That warmth melts the snow on the roof. The meltwater runs down toward the colder eaves, where it refreezes into a ridge of ice.
As the ridge grows, it traps more meltwater behind it. That water can work under shingles and leak into attics, ceilings and walls.
In short, ice dams come from roof heat, snow and cold edges working together. Knowing why they form helps you spot them early and call a professional before water gets inside.

What causes ice dams to form?
Heat escaping from the building warms the roof and melts the snow on it. The meltwater runs down to the cold eaves and refreezes, building a ridge of ice that traps more meltwater behind it. Poor attic insulation and ventilation are common contributors.
What is the safest way to remove an ice dam?
Low-pressure steam, used by trained professionals. Avoid hammers, chisels, axes and high-pressure equipment, which can damage shingles and flashing.
How do I know if I have an ice dam?
Common signs are large icicles, gutters packed with ice, ceiling stains and dripping water during a thaw.
What should I do if an ice dam is causing water to leak into my home?
Call right away at 1-855-468-4233. Trapped water can travel under roofing materials and through the attic before it shows up inside, so the visible leak may not be near the ice dam.
How much does professional ice dam removal cost?
Ice Dam USA prices ice dam removal by the hour: $875 per hour for standard service and $1,375 per hour for emergency, expedited or complex service, each with a three-hour minimum plus tax. The cost also depends on ice thickness, roof size and height, access and how urgent the job is. See the ice dam removal cost guide.
Can I remove an ice dam myself?
Only light snow removal from the ground with a roof rake is considered safe. Climbing on a roof or chipping at ice is dangerous and can damage shingles and flashing.
Does homeowners insurance cover ice dam damage?
Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your insurance provider. We can provide documentation of the work performed.
