Ice Dam Removal in Minnesota — 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 Minnesota. Crews cover 50 Minnesota 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.

Steam, Never A Hammer

Every Minnesota job uses low-pressure steam, which removes ice with heat rather than force. Granules, seal strips and flashing come through untouched.

FAQ

Minnesota Questions

Crews run across 50 Minnesota 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 Minnesota 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.
