Ice dams can be a homeowner’s nightmare–especially in Duluth. On average, Duluth gets more snow than the Twin Cities, which take part in the creation of enormous ice dams. Many homeowners attempt to get rid of their ice dam mess themselves, but it is an extremely dangerous task and do not know what tools to use.

Or team only removes ice dams with steam, not a high-temperature water pressure. It is the safest and most efficient way of removing ice dams that will not cause damage to your roof and save you time and money.
Removing Ice Dams with Steam
Some companies use high pressure washers, chemicals, axes, hammers, chainsaws, and many other creative ways to remove ice dams, causing major damage to your roof and home. Pressure washers depend on high pressure which put holes in your shingles, and damage other parts of your roof.
Steam removal has been proven to be the most effective way to get rid of ice dams, which is why that is our only method. A steamer takes regular, cold tap water and heats it to 250 to 300 degrees. This steam is pushed through a hose where it is focused into a thin, low-pressure column used to cut through ice. The steamer relies on heat to remove ice, not pressure.
