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.

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.
