Ice Dams
What ice dam remediation includes
Ice dams are a predictable Minnesota problem. When attic heat warms the roof deck above freezing while the eave temperature stays below freezing, snow melt has nowhere to go but under your shingles. The ice and water shield at the eave provides limited protection against this — it's designed for it — but a severe dam can back water up several feet and overwhelm the shield. Silver Loon Roofing removes ice dams safely using commercial steam equipment, and we assess your attic insulation and ventilation as part of every call so you understand what to do before next winter. ## Away all winter? A lot of our lake customers aren't up here between Thanksgiving and ice-out. That's exactly when ice dams do the most damage — nobody sees the ridge of ice building at the eave until water is already staining a porch ceiling. We check vacant cabins through the season on request and send photo updates from the field so you can see the roof and gutter line without driving up from the Cities. Catching a dam early, before it backs water under the shingles, is a steam call and a ventilation fix. Catching it in April is a much bigger job.
