Ice Dam Removal
Ice dams steamed off safely, with no hatchets and no shingle damage, plus the ventilation and insulation fix that stops them coming back.
Ice Dam Removal in northern New Jersey
Ice dams form when heat escaping into the attic melts snow on the upper roof, which then refreezes at the cold eaves. The dam traps meltwater behind it, and that water backs up under the shingles and into your home. Clogged gutters at the eaves make it worse.
We remove ice dams safely with low-pressure steam, the only method that will not damage your shingles, and then fix the underlying cause with balanced attic ventilation and insulation, so you are not paying for the same emergency every January.
