We're a free referral service that connects Minnesota North Metro homeowners with independent local contractors who remove ice dams with steam — the safe method that won't damage your roof. No cost to you.
Submit a quick request and we route it to independent local ice dam removal contractors who use commercial steam equipment. They contact you directly. You choose who to work with.
Free referral for homeowners. Tell us about your ice dam and we'll route your request to independent local contractors who use steam.
Warm air from your living space leaks into the attic and warms the underside of the roof deck, melting the snow above it.
Meltwater flows down the roof toward the cold eaves, where the roof surface is below freezing.
At the cold eaves the water refreezes into a ridge of ice. That dam traps more meltwater behind it, which backs up under the shingles and into your home.
The result is the same every time: water that should run off the roof instead pools behind a wall of ice and works its way under shingles, through the roof deck, and into your ceilings and walls.
Low-temperature steam cuts a channel through the ice so water can drain off the roof. It uses heat, not force — so it won't crack shingles, tear flashing, or dent gutters. For active-leak and removal leads, we connect you only with contractors who confirm they use commercial steam equipment.
Large icicles or a thick ice ledge at the eaves
Water stains or bubbling paint on ceilings and walls
Damp or wet spots on exterior walls
Ice buildup behind or inside gutters
Seeing any of these? Don't wait — water behind a dam can soak insulation and drywall within hours.
Go to the emergency leak pageFill out the short form with your address, roof type, and whether water is actively leaking. It takes about two minutes.
We send your request to independent local ice dam removal contractors who use commercial steam equipment.
A contractor reaches out directly to confirm details and schedule. You choose who to work with — no obligation.
We don't perform the work ourselves, so the contractors we connect you with matter. Here's what we require before a contractor receives homeowner leads.
Partners must have proof of insurance on file before we send them homeowner requests.
Active-leak and removal leads go only to partners who confirm they use commercial steam equipment.
Partners serve a defined area in the north metro, so leads reach contractors who can actually get there.
We're a referral service, not the contractor — you always choose who to work with and agree to terms with them directly.
We connect homeowners across the north metro with independent local ice dam removal contractors. Choose your city for local information and to submit a request.

An ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at the edge of a roof, usually along the eaves or gutters. Heat escaping from your attic warms the roof deck and melts the snow above it. That meltwater runs down to the cold eaves, refreezes, and builds up into a dam that traps more meltwater behind it.
Low-temperature steam melts a channel through the ice without forcing, scraping, or impact, so it does not damage shingles, flashing, or gutters. It also works in the cold temperatures where other methods fail. We only connect you with contractors who use commercial steam equipment.
Chipping and prying can crack shingles, tear flashing, and dent gutters, and it rarely removes the full dam. Pressure washing can blast granules off asphalt shingles and drive water under them. Rock salt and chemical melters corrode flashing, kill landscaping, and stain the roof. Steam avoids all of these.
We are a referral service, not a contractor, so we don't control or guarantee how quickly a contractor responds. When you submit a request we route it to independent local contractors who use steam, and they reach out to you directly. Submitting as early as possible gives a contractor the most time to contact you.
Yes. Connecting you with a contractor through this service is free for you. We may be compensated by the contractors we refer. You and the contractor you choose work out the job details and any cost directly between you.
Large icicles or a thick ice ledge at the eaves, water stains or bubbling paint on ceilings and walls, damp or wet spots on exterior walls, and ice buildup behind or inside gutters are all signs a dam may be forcing water under your shingles.
The sooner a contractor can steam a drainage channel, the less water gets in. Submit a request now or call — it's free.
