    Ice Dams Removed

What causes Ice Dams?

How ice dams form on your roof:

1. Indoor heating rises through the ceiling into the attic and warms the roof surface.

2. Snow of the heated part of the roof melts and flows down until it reaches that part of the roof that is below 32 degrees. Water freezes into an ice dam.

3. The dam grows as it is fed by melting snow above, but water held by the dam backs up and stays liquid.

4. Eventually, the water finds cracks in the roof covering and flows into the attic, from where it could seem through the ceiling and the interior walls. 

We us safe and effective steam to remove your ice dams. Our technicians are all trained by Doug the owner of Doug's Roofing which insures your roof is protected.

What Poor Quality Ice Removal Looks Like

Low Pressure Ice Dam Steam Machines

We only use the safest equipment available to safely remove ice dams without damage to your roofing materials. While some companies use hammers, chisels, axes, chain saws, torches, etc. we only use low pressure steam to remove ice dams.

For snow removal we use plastic shovels to ensure there is no damage to your roofing materials. All snow is removed from the top down.

What Our Clients Say

  • I had a major ice dam on a Sunday with water pouring into my house.

    Everyone I called had a 7-10 day wait. Doug was able to squeeze me in the next day and worked like crazy to clear the ice. They were very professional, worked non-stop and were careful of the roof (no damage). Great job and highly recommended!

  • We had an ice dam that needed to be removed ASAP.

    My husband stopped them on a Sunday evening desperate for help. We had contacted several other companies and couldn't reach any of them because it was a busy time. Doug was punctual and at our house Tuesday morning as planned, and efficiently removed up ice dam.

  • It went well.

     Shortly after they arrived and got started the dripping stopped. They were very personable and professional. Hopefully, I won't need them again, but I will recommend them.

  • I had an emergency.

    Water was coming in the window wells in two bedrooms. I found Doug's Roofing on Angie's List and wanted to use them because they were local. I called Doug and he said they would be out the next morning. They arrived just before 8:00 AM, explained the plan and went to work. Throughout the day Johnny came to the door and showed me pictures of the roof and the size of the ice dams. Wally and Johnny worked all day long and solved my problem. I was so relieved. They were friendly and informative. I was very thankful for their service.

  • Doug's service from beginning to end was great.

    He called me back within 2 hours when I first contacted him and was very professional both on the phone and in person. He thoroughly explained what he would do to deal with the ice dams on our roof, and exactly what his charge would be for that service. My husband and I were very impressed and would definitely use Doug's Roofing in the future!
