In Ocean County, nor'easters can drop a foot of heavy, wet snow overnight. Ice dams form fast and cause thousands of dollars of interior damage within days. We respond quickly, remove ice safely, and address the underlying cause.
Low-pressure steam removal that eliminates ice without damaging shingles or granules. No ice picks, no shovels, no chipping. Water is rinsed away cleanly and drainage paths are cleared to prevent immediate re-freezing.
Once the ice is gone, we trace and seal every point of water entry — from roof deck penetrations to interior drywall and insulation damage. We fix both the roof-side problem and the interior consequences.
Self-regulating heat cables installed along eaves and in valleys prevent ice dam formation at the source. Thermostatically controlled for efficiency — they only run when conditions require it.
Ice dams form when heat escaping through a poorly insulated roof deck melts snow at the top of the slope. That meltwater runs down to the cold eaves and refreezes. The backed-up water has nowhere to go but under your shingles. Removing the ice solves the immediate problem, but fixing the ventilation and insulation eliminates it permanently.
