When Should An Ice Dam Be Removed?

Ice dams should be removed as soon as they form. They can quickly lead to water infiltration, structural stress, and costly interior damage. Acting early helps prevent major repairs.

Methods We Do Not Recommend

Certain methods can cause serious damage or fail to resolve the issue:

Hammers, axes, or impact tools
Chainsaws or cutting tools
Pouring hot water directly on the roof
Salt products

Calcium products generally do not damage shingles, but they rarely eliminate a fully formed ice dam. They are better suited as a preventative measure than as a removal solution.

Insurance & Safety

For your protection and peace of mind:

$5,000,000 liability insurance
WSIB / CNESST coverage
Working-at-heights certified crew
Written quote, invoice, and receipt provided
Professional service for both residential and commercial properties.

Ice dams should be addressed promptly to reduce the risk of interior water damage and structural issues.

Ice dam removal should be performed by experienced professionals using specialized steam equipment and carrying liability insurance that specifically covers ice dam removal.
