Scope Before Work Starts

Ice dams are not a Cheyenne problem so much as a Wyoming one, and they show up on the same handful of eaves and valleys year after year. As part of our complete Cheyenne winter roof services, crews handle commercial ice dam removal across Laramie County.

Elevation, Aspect and Ice: The Laramie County Pattern

Mountain ice dams are a solar problem more than a temperature one. The sun works the pack from above while the air stays cold, so meltwater is produced and refrozen within the same afternoon.

Diagram showing how ice dams form on roofs due to inadequate insulation and poor ventilation
Heat escaping into the attic melts roof snow; the meltwater refreezes at the cold eave and the dam grows a layer every cycle.

Aspect decides everything here. The sunny plane sheds water that the shaded plane and the shaded eave then lock up, so one side of a roof in Cheyenne is clear while the other carries a wall of ice.

Ice-barrier practice in Laramie County

Design snow loads up here are among the highest in the country, and the membrane and retention details that come with them are not paperwork. On an older Cheyenne cabin neither is likely to be present.

Commercial Ice Dam Removal in Cheyenne: How The Work Runs

Multiple buildings on one site

Campuses, retail strips and multi-building properties get walked together and prioritized by which deck is closest to trouble, rather than worked in the order the calls came in.

One scope, one invoice, one contact. It is a meaningfully different job from nine separate ones.

Scheduling around tenants

Noise, access, parking and the hours a Cheyenne business can have equipment outside its door all shape when work happens. Some jobs run overnight for that reason.

Set the constraint on the call and the window gets planned around it rather than negotiated on the day.

Membrane-safe means something specific

EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen all tolerate steam at low pressure and none of them tolerate chipping, scraping or a pressure washer. Crews steam the drains and scuppers open first to restore flow, then work the ponded ice, and they stay off seams and flashing details with the lance.

Mechanical units, conduit runs, solar racking and safety railing all get worked around rather than over.

Overflow scuppers are the tell

Water running out of an overflow scupper in winter means the primary drains are not taking it. On a Cheyenne building that is a sign the roof is holding standing water somewhere above a frozen drain, and the load is being carried rather than shed.

Scuppers are checked first for exactly that reason, and a dry scupper above a wet roof is as informative as a running one.

Built for property managers

One contact, one scheduled window, one invoice coded the way your accounting needs it. Crews work around tenant hours where that matters, and the condition report goes to whoever has to show the board or the owner what was spent and why.

Where We Dispatch Around Cheyenne

Crews working Cheyenne cover the adjoining communities on the same route — Ft Warren Afb — so a storm week usually means one truck handling several addresses in Laramie County rather than separate trips.

Nearest hub towns with their own commercial ice dams pages: Laramie, Douglas, Casper, Gillette, Riverton, Rock Springs.

Crews cover Cheyenne and the surrounding Laramie County towns through the whole season, and during a freeze event they run from first light until dark.

Most jobs do not stop at one service. Commercial Ice Dams in Cheyenne often runs alongside commercial roof snow removal in Cheyenne, and both get written into one scope rather than billed as separate visits.

FAQ

Cheyenne Questions We Actually Get Asked

It is billed by the crew hour, and the rate plus a realistic time estimate are quoted on the phone before anyone is dispatched.

  • Scope drives the hours: length and thickness of the ice, roof pitch and height, and whether the gutters are frozen solid.
  • Access matters too — a three-story Cheyenne roof takes longer to set up on than a ranch.
  • The invoice matches the quote. There are no surprise add-ons written on the tailgate.

Please do not. Salt corrodes flashing, fasteners, gutters and anything metal it drains across, and it damages whatever is planted below.

  • Calcium chloride is less aggressive than rock salt but still ends up in the soil at the drip line.
  • A puck melts a hole, not a drainage path, so the water simply refreezes a few inches further on.
  • Crews use heat and nothing else - no salt, no chemicals, nothing corrosive.

Same day or next morning for most Cheyenne calls, with active interior leaks moved to the front of the schedule.

  • During a freeze event crews run from first light until dark across Laramie County.
  • The same route covers Ft Warren Afb, so several addresses are usually handled in one run.
  • Call rather than using the form if water is coming in — the phone is always faster.

Only where there is interior damage to document or dry. Pure exterior removal happens entirely from outside.

  • If water has come in, seeing it is what makes the claim documentation worth anything.
  • Attic access helps identify the heat source but is not required for removal.
  • Nobody needs to be home for exterior-only work, provided access and payment are arranged.

The crew hours on site, the equipment and the photo documentation - with the rate and an estimate given on the phone beforehand.

  • Travel to a Cheyenne address inside the normal service area is not an added line.
  • If the roof turns out worse than described, you are told before the extra hours are worked.
  • The invoice matches what was quoted. Nothing gets added on the tailgate.

Yes. Campuses, retail strips and multi-building properties get walked together, prioritized by which deck is closest to failure, and billed under one scope rather than as separate jobs.

Yes, at the pressures used here. Heat melts ice without force, so there is nothing abrading the membrane or working at the seams. What is not safe on a membrane is a pressure washer, a chipper or any mechanical removal.

A dam left alone through February is not the same dam in March. It is bigger, and so is the repair behind it.
