Understanding Edmonton's Ice Dam Challenges
Edmonton's climate creates perfect conditions for ice dam formation. With temperatures regularly dropping below -20°C and sudden warming periods, snow on your roof repeatedly melts and refreezes, creating thick ice barriers along gutters and eaves. These ice dams prevent proper drainage, forcing melting snow to back up under shingles and into your home. Our team has seen the damage ice dams can cause to Edmonton homes - from ceiling stains and insulation damage to structural issues and mold growth. We use specialized steam removal equipment that safely melts ice without damaging your roofing materials, unlike dangerous methods like hammering or using chemicals.
