Ice Dam Removal by Steam

Ice Dam Problem:

• Ice will form from melting snow and make an ice dam, water will pool behind this dam, hide under the snow and seep into the building. Water can damage insulation, drywall, electrical systems and may lead to rotting wood and mold.
• The weight of the ice could also cause damage when it breaks free and is a potential liability hazard if an injury would occur.
• Steamers have been successfully used in the Minnesota Market for decades to safely remove ice.

Ice Dam Solution:

The Arctic Steamer is the only steamer designed for use in cold temperatures to remove ice.

• Remove the Ice Dam Problem in the safest and most effective way.
• The spray from an Arctic Steamer is gentle and will not damage a roof like a pressure washer, hammer, or pick ax.
• The use of chemicals and ice melting products can cause a larger problem as more snow and ice melt and turn into liquid.

Winter Income Problem:

• Many projects cannot be done in the winter and it is a slower time for many contractors. Employees want to work and your business needs more income in off months to be profitable. Keep more crews working more of the winter!

Winter Income Solution:

• In addition to being the best technology to remove ice from asphalt roofs, the Arctic Steamer is a great tool every contractor should have. The ability to remove ice can provide great off-season income and will serve as a lead finder. A customer with an ice problem needs it fixed and often will need additional repairs because of the damage caused by unwelcome water. Typical billing for a machine and two workers on site is between $300–$400/hour or higher, which will have your equipment investment paid off with just a few days of work. Be able to say, “Yes We Can!” when a customer calls to ask you to remove ice.

• Keep your customers loyal and land new customers by offering the best technology to solve the dam problem for your customers.

When the unit arrives give us a call and we will walk through the start-up with you and answer any questions you might have. The units are designed to be simple to use, operate and repair.
