Ice-Dam
Steaming
Ice dam steaming is a tried and true technique for safely removing ice dams from roofs. The process converts cold water into low-pressure steam, which is then sprayed through a specially designed nozzle, melting the ice on the roof entirely. Then, the melted ice and snow can flow through the freshly cleared gutters away from your home.
