Ice Dam Removal Services – St. Paul – Minneapolis

Ice dams in Minnesota are as common as hockey, ice fishing and football season. Not only does Minneapolis boast a top ranking for snowfall, the Twin Cities has the coldest average temperature of any major metropolitan area in the nation. It doesn't get much more extreme.

In the wake of these monster snow falls it is important to keep an eye on your roof as these extreme amounts of snow can be troublesome, and ice dams can begin to form as the snow accumulates. An ice dam is formed on a roof when heat from the attic causes snow on the roof to melt. This water flows down the roof and then freezes when it reaches the edge of the roof where it comes in contact with the colder air. This keeps additional run off from draining off of the roof. The water then builds up behind the ice dam where it can seep under shingles and into the house.

Signs of Ice Dams on Your Roof

Ask yourself these few simple questions to determine if you have an Ice Dam.

• Do I have large icicles forming on the edge of your roof?
• Is ice building up on the top of your gutter?
• Is ice coming through the soffit vents of the soffit itself?
• Are icicles forming behind the gutter?
• Are icicles (or is water) visible on the exterior wall surface?
• Are icicles (or is water) visible inside or around window frames?
• Are you noticing water stains or damage on interior walls?

If you answered yes to the first few questions, your best bet is to hire an experienced professional to do this - it can be a risky task. If you answered Yes to the last few questions please call us immediately! The Ice Dam needs to be removed properly and quickly to ensure your home is not damaged further.

The worst way of dealing with ice dams is to get on a ladder and hack away at your ice dams with a hatchet or ice pick. Some folks want to go out and chop away at icicles, but it's not a good idea to be climbing on snow- and ice-covered roofs or using ladders on slippery ground. Plus, using the wrong tools to remove snow or chunks of ice from your roof may cause further damage to your shingles or your gutters.
