Why is water coming into my home? Can you help?
Icicles can be beautiful and make a home's appearance unique. However, if you have snow on your roof and icicles coming down from your gutters, the water can actually be from an ice dam that is preventing the water from the melting snow from running into your gutters and out of the drains. If that water continues to back up, it will go under your roofing materials and down the path of least resistance. Ultimately, it can end up in your ceilings which will be damaged and may fall and ruin your personal items. The only way to stop it is to remove the obstacle which is an ice dam.
Getting on your Milwaukee roof any time of the year can be dangerous, but even more so when it is cold and wet. Putting a ladder up and then climbing to reach the roof during these conditions is something that should be done by professionals.
Ice Dam USA are the professionals. After working on thousands of homes, we are skilled at operating in these conditions. We work all over Milwaukee and the surrounding areas. We are also one of the most trusted companies in the USA at finding and removing ice dams from roofs. Once the ice dam is removed, the water will flow as normal; outside of your home and not into your home. Reach out to us at 1-855-468-4233 to get started.
What is an "ice dam" anyway?
Heat escaping from your home rises and melts the snow, but not all at the same time or in the same areas. As the water from the melted snow comes in contact with the snow that hasn’t melted, it gets colder and colder until it eventually freezes. That ice builds up and creates a wall (ice dam) that holds water which either freezes and increases the size of the wall or it builds up behind it forming a puddle. The heat is always released from your home, however, it comes more rapidly from vents, skylights and other areas that have less insulation. This means snow melts in those areas before it melts in areas that have better insulation or are lower on the roof. Often, this is near the gutters which is where many ice dams begin.
Shingles and other roofing materials are designed to help water flow off your home. As water backs up from the ice dam, it starts moving underneath your shingles and starts looking for the easiest way to move down. As your roofing materials aren’t designed for this, they simply don’t stand a chance. Water will always find a way down and that can mean into your home.
Can you make the water stop running into my home in Milwaukee?
We use steam to clear ice dams, unlike many other companies that use a heated pressure washer. This gives you fast results with little to no damage to your roof.
Faster results means savings for you as well. It's not all about the old adage: "Time is money." The reality is the faster you can stop the water running into your home, the faster you can stop additional damage. If water continues to flood in, it can collapse ceilings, ruin walls and flooring and turn electronics into useless items.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ice Dam Removal in Milwaukee
Ice Dam USA uses professional low-pressure steam because it removes ice using heat instead of extreme water pressure. This allows our technicians to carefully cut through and remove ice dams while reducing the risk of damage to shingles, flashing, gutters and other roofing materials.
We do not rely on hammers, chisels or high-pressure equipment to attack the ice.
Common signs of an ice dam include large icicles along the roof edge, thick ice buildup in gutters, uneven snow melting, water stains on ceilings or walls, and moisture appearing around windows or exterior walls.
If you see heavy ice buildup combined with water leaking inside, contact Ice Dam USA for professional Milwaukee ice dam removal.
If water is actively entering your home, contact Ice Dam USA as soon as possible and let us know you have an active leak.
Water trapped behind an ice dam can travel underneath roofing materials before showing up inside, so the visible leak may not be directly below the ice buildup. Removing the blockage can help restore drainage and reduce additional water intrusion.
The cost of professional ice dam removal depends on the size and thickness of the ice dam, roof height and pitch, accessibility, snow depth, weather conditions and how much of the roofline is affected.

Milwaukee winters create ideal conditions for ice dams because snow can remain on roofs for long periods while indoor heat warms parts of the roof surface. Meltwater then runs toward colder eaves and refreezes, creating a ridge of ice along the roof edge.
Older homes, finished attics, uneven insulation, dormers, valleys and complicated rooflines can make ice dam problems worse by creating uneven roof temperatures.
