Ice Dam Removal Services to Protect Your Roof During Winter
Heavy snow, freezing temperatures, and repeated thaw cycles during the winter months can create serious roofing problems for local homeowners. One of the most common issues our team at Allied Roofing Solutions sees is the formation of ice dams.
When snow on the upper part of your roof begins to melt, the water runs down toward the colder edges near the eaves. If outside temperatures drop again, that water refreezes and forms a thick ridge of ice along the roofline. As more snow melts, water can become trapped behind that ridge, eventually working its way under roof shingles and into the roof decking, where it may lead to leaks or interior damage.
Our ice dam removal experts use safe, controlled methods to professionally remove accumulated ice buildup from your roof before costly damage occurs.
Warning Signs Your Roof Has Ice Dams
Many people first notice ice dams have formed after a heavy snow storm when the buildup becomes visible along the edge of the roof.
Common signs include:
- Thick ice ridges forming along the eaves
- Large icicles dripping from gutters
- Water stains on interior ceilings
- Wet insulation inside the attic
- Peeling paint or bubbling drywall on walls
- Visible ice buildup near the roof ridge
If you’ve noticed these symptoms of an ice dam, it is likely that water is not properly flowing and draining from your roof. When this happens, it is important not to wait for the ice to melt completely on its own. Delayed action can allow additional snow melt to continue feeding the dam, increasing the risk of water damage and the need for expensive roof repairs.
Roof Types We Service for Ice Dam Removal
Different roofing materials require different removal techniques. A qualified ice dam removal company understands how to safely remove snow and melt ice without damaging the roofing surface.
Allied Roofing Solutions provides ice dam removal services for the following residential roof types.
Roof Shingles
Ice dams commonly form along the eaves of shingle roofs when melting snow runs down and refreezes at the colder edge. Our team removes snow buildup and uses controlled steam to melt the ice while protecting the shingles, flashing, and gutters.
Metal Roofs
Metal roofs shed snow more easily, but ice dams can still form along seams, edges, and gutters. Our team clears the snow buildup and uses specialized ice-melting equipment to safely break apart the ice and restore proper drainage.
Flat Roofs
Flat and low-slope roofs tend to hold snow and ice longer, which can make ice dams more likely and slow down proper drainage. Our team removes excess snow and uses professional steam equipment to break down ice buildup so water can drain properly.
Tile Roofs
Clay and concrete tile roofs can develop ice dams when melting snow refreezes along the lower edge. Our team removes the snow buildup and uses professional ice removal equipment to safely melt the ice without damaging the tiles.
Slate Roofs
Slate roofs are durable but can crack if ice is removed improperly. Our team carefully clears snow and uses roof-safe steam removal methods to break down ice dams while protecting the slate tiles and surrounding flashing.
Cedar Shake Roofs
Cedar shake roofs can hold snow between the thicker wood shakes, making them vulnerable to ice dams and trapped moisture. Our team carefully removes the snow buildup to melt the ice while protecting wood from cracking, rot, or water intrusion.
