Steam removal $375/hr
Low-pressure steam, two-hour minimum. No hammers, no hatchets, no extra shingle damage from the removal itself.
Michigan winters · Metro Detroit
Ice dams form when heat escapes the attic, melts snow, and refreezes at cold eaves. The ice lifts shingles and drives water under the roof into insulation and drywall. We remove ice with low-pressure steam — no hatchets — then rebuild damaged eaves with ice-and-water membrane when needed.
What’s included
Low-pressure steam, two-hour minimum. No hammers, no hatchets, no extra shingle damage from the removal itself.
Shingles and underlayment at the eave stripped back and rebuilt with new ice-and-water shield where winter chewed them up.
We’ll explain ventilation and insulation factors in plain language. Fixing the leak path is our job; whole-house attic redesign is yours to choose separately. See our attic ventilation and exhaust vent page for the roof-side fixes — ridge, soffit, baffles, and solar vents.
Many Metro Detroit ranches and colonials with modest attic insulation are ice-dam machines. Damage often appears as stained exterior walls, wavy eaves, or interior drips during the thaw — not only during the storm.
We repair what winter broke. We don’t use ice damage as a free-inspection funnel into a new-roof contract. If the roof field is spent, you’ll get that in writing with photos; the reroof decision stays yours with another contractor.
Leak diagnostics are part of your free estimate.
