Ice Dam Removal in Duluth

Protect your home & roof

Rooftop ice dams are a winter hazard in Duluth, Minn., and beyond. They can cause structural damage to your home, so it’s best to have them safely removed by the professionals at Alliance Inc.

How are ice dams formed?

Rooftop ice dams are a buildup of ice on the edge of a roof that prevents snow from melting and draining off the roof. They can cause significant damage to a roof and the interior of a home if not properly addressed.

Ice dams form when snow on the roof melts due to heat escaping from the interior of the home. The melted snow then flows down to the edge of the roof, where it refreezes due to cold temperatures. 

This process repeats over time, causing a buildup of ice on the edge of the roof that can become thick and heavy.

What damage can ice dams cause?

The weight of the ice can damage the roof, causing leaks, and water damage to the interior of the home. The ice can also pull gutters away from the roofline, causing further damage. 

Additionally, as water backs up behind the ice dam, it can seep under shingles and enter the home, causing damage to walls, ceilings, and insulation.

How can ice dams be prevented?

Having rooftop ice dams professionally cleared can help prevent damage to your home. Alliance Inc. professionals have the proper equipment and training to safely remove the ice without causing further damage to the roof or gutters. 

Our team also can identify and address the underlying issues that caused the ice dam to form, such as inadequate attic insulation or ventilation. 

Addressing these underlying issues can help prevent future ice dam formation and damage to your home.
