Ice Dam removal with Steam!

02/02/2026

With snow still sitting on many roofs, some early warning signs of ice dams or moisture issues can start to show up.

We recommend taking a quick walk around your home and watching for:

• Ice or water on the siding
• Water dripping from eave or soffit vents
• Brown or rust-colored ice or water stains
• Large icicles forming along roof edges or gutters

These can be signs that snow is melting on the roof and refreezing at the edges — which can eventually allow water to work its way into the home.

Roof snow removal is often most effective before interior damage occurs. If you’re seeing any of these signs or have concerns, we’re happy to help.

We get this question a lot, so here’s the truth 👇

Ice dams aren’t caused by clogged or frozen gutters.
They’re caused by heat escaping from the home into the attic.

The warmer the upstairs of your home, the faster snow melts on the roof.
When that water refreezes at the edge, ice dams form.

Homes with good attic insulation and air sealing are far less likely to have problems.

Education matters — and prevention starts inside the house.

SUNDAY SAFETY TIP!

With the heavy snow coming, we wanted to remind you why keeping exhaust vents are so critical:

Keeping exhaust vents clear of snow isn't just about home maintenance – it's about protecting your family's safety and your home's integrity.

As displayed in this image, your home has several important exhaust vents that need to remain clear. This includes vents for your furnace, water heater, dryer, and bathroom fans. These vents serve a critical purpose: removing dangerous gases like carbon monoxide, excess moisture, and other byproducts from your home.

When snow blocks these vents, these harmful substances have nowhere to go except back into your living space.

Carbon monoxide, often called the "silent killer," is particularly concerning. This odorless, colorless gas can build up rapidly when furnace or water heater vents are blocked, potentially leading to severe illness or worse. Similarly, blocked dryer vents not only reduce your appliance's efficiency but can also create fire hazards as lint builds up in the system.

Once the snowfall ends, be sure to take a walk around your home and check all external vents. Clear away any snow buildup, ensuring there's at least a foot of clear space around each vent. Pay special attention to vents near ground level, which can become buried as snow accumulates or gets pushed aside during shoveling or plowing.

Remember, this isn't a one-and-done task. During periods of heavy snow or drifting, check your vents multiple times per day. It's a small investment of time that could literally save lives.

By keeping your vents clear, you're not just maintaining your home – you're protecting your family's safety and health throughout the winter months.
