Minnesota Ice Dam FAQs

What causes ice dams on Minnesota roofs?

Minnesota winters create ideal conditions for ice dams. Heat escaping from the home can warm the roof and melt the underside of the snowpack. That water runs toward the colder roof edge, where it refreezes and gradually creates a ridge of ice.

As the ice dam grows, additional meltwater can become trapped behind it and work its way underneath shingles, flashing and other roofing materials. Heavy snowfall and repeated freeze-thaw cycles can make ice dams especially serious throughout Minnesota.

Is steam the safest way to remove ice dams?

Professional low-pressure steam is one of the safest methods for ice dam removal because it uses heat rather than extreme water pressure to cut through and melt the ice.

Ice Dam USA uses professional steam equipment designed to remove roof ice while reducing the risk of damage to shingles, flashing, gutters and other roofing materials. We do not rely on hammers, chisels or high-pressure pressure washers to break apart ice dams.

Does Ice Dam USA provide emergency ice dam removal in Minnesota?

Yes. Ice Dam USA provides 24/7 emergency ice dam removal throughout Minnesota during severe winter conditions.

If you have a large ice dam, heavy roof ice or water actively leaking into your home or building, call 1-855-468-4233 and let our team know you have an active leak. We provide service throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, Duluth, Cloquet, Rochester, St. Cloud and communities across Minnesota.

Will homeowners insurance cover ice dam removal or damage?

Coverage depends on your individual homeowners insurance policy and the type of damage involved. Some policies may cover sudden interior water damage caused by an ice dam, while coverage for the actual cost of ice dam removal varies by policy and insurance company.

Contact your insurance provider for details specific to your policy. Ice Dam USA can provide documentation of the work performed when needed.

Can ice dams be prevented in the future?

Many recurring ice dam problems are related to heat escaping into the attic, uneven roof temperatures, insulation problems, air leaks or ventilation issues.

After the immediate ice dam has been removed, homeowners may want to evaluate attic insulation, air sealing and ventilation to help reduce future ice dam formation. Every home is different, so the underlying cause should be evaluated based on the specific property.
