Ice Dam Removal & Ice Steaming in Northern Michigan

• Persistent icicles along the roofline – large or frequent icicles suggest melting snow isn’t draining properly and is refreezing at the eaves.
• Ice forming at the gutter line or lower roof edge – even small amounts of ice can trap water and push it under your shingles.
• Moisture or ice appearing around soffits or vents – a sign that water may already be backing up beneath the roofing system.

• Icicles or ice sheets forming behind the gutter – indicates water is flowing in the wrong direction and getting under roofing materials.
• Ice or water running down exterior siding – suggests water is escaping behind shingles or flashing.
• Moisture showing up inside around windows or walls – stains, condensation, or frost can signal ice dam–related leaks.

• Roof leaks and interior ceiling or wall damage
• Mold, mildew, and insulation problems
• Damage to shingles, gutters, fascia, and soffit

• Heavy ice pulling gutters loose from the home
• Dangerous icicles forming near walkways and entries
• Structural stress from repetitive freeze–thaw cycles
