Ice Dam Removal in Eureka, California

Ice dams are almost unheard of on the North Coast. The mild coastal climate rarely drops below freezing, and the need for the ice dam removal is extremely rare. Ice dam removal in Eureka means the fast response for the rare event.

Signs of an Ice Dam on a Eureka Roof

• Icicles on the eaves — the melt water froze at the edge
• Water stains on the ceiling near the wall — the water backed up under the shingles
• Ice buildup in the gutters — the cold snap froze the rain
• Damp attic insulation — the melt water soaked through the deck
• Condensation on the attic roof deck — warm air met the cold deck

How We Remove Ice Dams in Eureka

1. Inspect the attic — check the insulation, the ventilation, and the deck stains
2. Steam the ice — low-pressure steam melts the ice without damaging the roof
3. Clear the gutters — remove the ice and the debris from the runs
4. Dry the attic — inspect the insulation and the deck for water damage
