Ice Dam and Snow Removal

Safely remove ice and snow from your roof in Mid-Michigan

Keep Snow and Ice From Damaging Your Roof

Heavy, wet snow can wreak havoc on your roof, vents and flashing, while the weight of accumulated snow can even cause roof rafters to buckle. As snow melts and refreezes, it can damage your roofing materials and gutters.

We will safely remove accumulated snow and address ice dams before they have an opportunity to cause further problems. Whether you're dealing with a heavy snowfall, persistent ice buildup, or water backing up around an ice dam, our experienced team can assess the situation, remove the snow and ice, and stop the problem from coming back.

Removing excessive snow and ice buildup can reduce stress on the roofing system and help prevent winter damage from turning into a more extensive repair. When winter weather puts your roof at risk, we're here to help.

Snow-covered roof in Michigan

Keeping Roofs Safe Through Michigan Winters

Our priority is to ensure that our clients’ roofs are in great condition all year long. Michigan winters are famously harsh, and we address snow and ice quickly and efficiently to be sure your roof is safe throughout the season.

Repeated freezing and thawing can cause many different issues, including leaks and malformations in flashing, pipes, eave edges, gutters and more. Ice build-up can also endanger your family, visitors or customers. Taking care of these issues and getting to the source of the problem will make your property safer and more secure.

How We Remove Snow and Ice

We have the experience and equipment to take care of snow and ice safely.

01

Salt the roof

Then we salt the roof to hasten the melting process and aid future snow in melting.

Clear the gutters

Finally, we put salt down the gutters to loosen the ice that has clogged them.

Ice Dam Removal Michigan

What Are Ice Dams?

Ice dams form when snow on a roof melts and the resulting water flows toward the colder edges of the roof, where it can refreeze. As more snow melts and freezes, the ice can build up along the roof's edge and create a dam that prevents water from draining properly into the gutters and downspouts.

When water becomes trapped behind an ice dam, it can work its way underneath shingles and into areas of the roofing system that are not designed to handle standing water. This can eventually lead to leaks, damaged roofing materials, wet insulation, and water damage inside the home or building. Ice dams can also put additional weight and stress on gutters and roof edges.

Ice dams are particularly common during Michigan winters, when periods of snow, freezing temperatures, and temperature fluctuations cause repeated melting and refreezing. If you notice significant ice buildup along your roof or gutters, professional ice dam removal can help reduce the risk of damage.
