“EJ, his roofing team and office support were a pleasure to work with. Professional, efficient, on-time, responsive, reliable and clean.”
But melting the ice is only half the job. The real fix is stopping the heat loss that creates ice dams in the first place—which almost always comes back to attic insulation and ventilation. We inspect for that root cause so the dam doesn't return with the next storm. Call (814) 449-0824 for fast ice dam removal anywhere in Erie, PA.

Ice Dam Removal FAQs
Common questions about ice dam removal in Erie, PA
What actually causes ice dams in Erie?
Ice dams form when heat escaping your attic melts roof snow that then refreezes at the cold eaves. Erie's heavy lake-effect snow and constant freeze-thaw cycles make it one of the worst regions in the country for them.
Can't I just chip the ice off myself?
Please don't. Hammers, chisels, and ice picks crack shingles and create new leaks, and standing on an icy roof is extremely dangerous. Low-pressure steam is the only method that is both safe and effective.
Does steam removal damage my shingles?
No. The steam melts the ice at a safe temperature without harming the shingles, flashing, or granules underneath. That is exactly why we use it instead of brute force.
My ceiling is leaking right now—can you come today?
Active interior leaks are our priority during winter storms. Call (814) 449-0824 and we will dispatch a crew to clear the dam and stop the water as fast as possible.
Will salt or calcium chloride fix it?
Salt pucks can maintain a small drainage channel in a pinch, but they corrode metal flashing and gutters over time and never address the cause. We use steam plus a real prevention plan instead.
How do I stop ice dams from coming back?
The permanent fix is reducing attic heat loss with proper insulation and ventilation, and in some cases adding heated cable at the eaves. We inspect your home and recommend the right combination.
