Ice Dam Removal in Iowa — Great Lakes & Upper Midwest
Ice Dam Now provides emergency ice dam removal, roof snow and crane-assisted clearing, IICRC S500 water mitigation and insurance claim documentation across Iowa. Crews cover 24 Iowa cities, use low-pressure steam only, dispatch same day for active interior leaks, and quote the crew-hour rate before anyone is sent out.
Lake-effect bands can drop a foot on one side of a county and leave the other side clear, then a January thaw runs it all into the gutters at once. That thaw-freeze whiplash is what builds dams here.

What We Do In Iowa
Ice Dam Removal
Low-pressure steam melts the dam off the eave in sections until the shingle is clear and water is draining again.
Book Ice Dam Removal
Mold Remediation
Attic, wall cavity and ceiling mold left behind by ice dam water, removed under containment and cleared before the room is rebuilt.
Book A Mold Inspection
Roof Snow Removal
No snow on the roof means no meltwater, and no meltwater means no new dam.
Request Snow Clearing
Roof Shoveling
Deep pack, dead valleys and dormer pockets, cleared by hand where a rake cannot reach.
Request Hand Shoveling
Crane-Assisted Snow Removal
Snow tarps rigged and lifted by boom crane where drifts are too deep and too heavy to move by hand.

Water Mitigation & Dryout
Extraction, drying and controlled tear-out to IICRC S500, then the interior repair, so the water that already got in does not become rot and mold by spring.

Heated Roof & Gutter Cables
Self-regulating heat trace on the eaves, valleys, gutters and downspouts, so meltwater keeps a path out all winter.

Every Iowa job uses low-pressure steam, which removes ice with heat rather than force. Granules, seal strips and flashing come through untouched.
Iowa Questions
Crews run across 24 Iowa cities and the towns around them, listed in full on this page. Coverage widens during a major storm event, so call and ask even if your town is not listed.
During a freeze event crews work from first light until dark and prioritize homes with water already coming inside. Most Iowa calls are scheduled same day or next morning.
Lake-effect bands can drop a foot on one side of a county and leave the other side clear, then a January thaw runs it all into the gutters at once. That thaw-freeze whiplash is what builds dams here. Add an attic that leaks heat and the eave does the rest.
Crews photograph the dam, the entry points and the interior damage as they work, and write scopes in Xactimate line items. The coverage decision is between you and your carrier, but the evidence they need is collected either way.
