Ice Dam Prevention and Removal

Gently Melt the Ice Dam Away

Westphal Roofing & Services uses steam to melt away your roof ice dams. Getting rid of an ice dam in the winter should not mean repairing or replacing your roof system in the spring. Some people aggressively hammer and hack at the ice, possibly severely damaging your roof, or use chemicals and salt pucks that can actually make the leak worse and stain your interior surfaces.

Our large commercial steam machines effectively and efficiently remove the entire ice dam with minimal effect to the roof surface. Call us for an estimate today.

How an Ice Dam Forms

You can experience roof dams on your property when snow melts and then re-freezes at the edge of your roof line. When this happens, it can not only cause significant roof damage, but it can also lead to water leaking into your home.

Ice Dam Prevention Tips

You'll find there are several ways to prevent ice dam formations. One is to have proper and adequate insulation and ventilation under your roof system. This will help to reduce your heating and cooling costs.

Another way to prevent the formation of ice dams is to completely remove the roof snow if the snow depth becomes excessive.
