Roof Leaks Commercial & Residential Ice Dam Removal

Our commercial steam roof ice dam removal equipment removes ice from roofs safely and efficiently. Unlike hot power washers, it uses heat energy, not water energy. It is electrically driven (using your home’s power) to create steam. Electrically driven equipment in our opinion (yes, we have used both types of equipment) is far superior to gas-driven equipment. Commercial steam electric equipment operates at a significantly lower pressure with much higher heat energy, has lower water usage, and can operate at a more constant steam temp compared to all gas equipment. How can you tell the difference in equipment being used on your roof? If the gun has a trigger it is a power washer. It’s that simple.

• Electric commercial equipment operates at a significantly lower pressure, lower water usage, and can operate at a higher steam temp compared to most all gas equipment. Its sole purpose is to cut ice safely & efficiently.
• Electric commercial equipment at 1-1.5 gallons per minute (GPM) turns water into superheated steam (almost no excessive water other than melting ice).
• Average gas equipment water consumption at 2.5-4 GPM. With excessive pressure enough to cut a shingle in half. It turns water into mostly hot water (uses water energy) equating to nearly 150-240 excess gallons per hour of water on the outside walls and foundation of your home.
• Electric steam equipment costs at most about 35 cents per hour of your electricity. Not bad considering the average ice dam removal project is anywhere from 2-4 hours. Equating to $.70 – $1.40 electricity cost.

Choosing gentle electric steam over gas-powered (power washer) equipment is a no-brainer in our opinion. Choosing a company that is transparent about its equipment. Equipment with steam temps of at least 270 degrees and a PSI of 200 or less is in our opinion ideal for the safest, most efficient, and damage-free roof ice dam removal.
