Signs to look for

When to call us for ice dam leak cleanup

So the repair lasts, if you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

A ridge of ice sits along the eave above the gutter

For a job done right, that ridge is the dam itself, and meltwater is pooling behind it.

Thick icicles are hanging from the gutter line

For a job done right, icicles mean water is running down a warm roof and freezing at a cold edge.

A wet or stained line where the ceiling meets an exterior wall

Before the finish work begins, ice dam water enters over the top plate and drops into the corner.

Water is running out of the top of a window or a door

With sound workmanship in mind, the wall cavity carries the water down to the first thing that blocks it, which is a window head.

It leaks on a sunny day, not during the storm

So the repair lasts, the snow has to melt before there is any water to leak. With sound workmanship in mind, a leak that starts when the sun comes out after a snowfall is diagnostic.

The roof field is clear of snow but the edge is iced

For a job done right, heat escaping into the attic melts snow over the heated part of the house.

What happens

How we see to ice dam leak cleanup

Our workmanship team adjusts the work to what soaked up water, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be preserved.

Safety overhead before anything else

Before the finish work begins, wet ceiling boxes and can lights mean the circuit gets shut off from a dry location.

Stopping the meltwater at the dam

So the repair lasts, steam removal is the correct method, and we coordinate a crew that has the equipment.

Reading the ceiling perimeter and the top of the wall

Before the finish work begins, a moisture meter runs the full length of every exterior wall in the affected room, not just the stained part.

Wall cavity access where the water came down

Before the finish work begins, baseboard or window casing comes off and small access holes let us read and dry inside the cavity.

Wet insulation at the eave removed and bagged

For a job done right, compacted or soaked material at the perimeter comes out in position and gets replaced with a measured R value.

Drying an assembly that is cold on one side

So the repair lasts, the house stays heated, the wet cavity gets contained, and air movers work into the openings with an Professional dehumidifier on the room.

What to expect

What to expect from our workmanship team

Here is how we more often than not handle ice dam leak cleanup near North Carolina.

1
You call and we ask what the roof edge looks like

So the repair lasts, ice ridge, icicles, snow depth and which side of the house it is on. With sound workmanship in mind, those four answers let us hear whether steam removal comes on the first trip.
Your call
2
Photograph the ice, then clear the room

With sound workmanship in mind, take pictures of the eave from the ground while the ice is still there.
+5 minutes
3
A crew is dispatched for cold weather work

Before the finish work begins, sealed work area, drying equipment and the steam contact get lined up together.
+15 minutes
4
Exterior and interior documented before work starts

Before the finish work begins, we record the dam, the icicles, the gutter condition and every interior stain with dates.
On arrival
5
The meltwater gets stopped at the eave

Before the finish work begins, steam opens channels through the dam so water drains off the roof instead of backing up under the shingles.
First hours on site
6
The perimeter gets mapped, wall by wall

Before the finish work begins, moisture values run the full exterior wall length, the ceiling perimeter and both sides of every window head.
First hours on site
7
Swollen casing off, wet blown in material out at the eave

For a job done right, swollen window casing, failed board and soaked blown in insulation at the eave are removed and logged.

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

So the repair lasts, we explain the recommended work and price before you approve the job. So the repair lasts, these examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Steam ice dam removal at the eave, by a specialty crew	National estimate. Routinely billed hourly at roughly $250 to $500 per hour, as a matter of course one to three hours, with a minimum charge.	$400 to $1,500
Interior cleanup after one ice dam leak, one room dried in place	National estimate for perimeter ceiling and wall drying with trim millwork removal, no demolition.	$600 to $2,000
Several eaves leaking, multiple rooms with removal and drying	For a job done right, national estimate including wet insulation removal, drywall sections and five to seven drying days.	$3,000 to $9,000
Wet attic or perimeter insulation removal and disposal, per square foot	With sound workmanship in mind, national estimate for extraction, bagging and disposal of soaked material.	$1.00 to $2.50
Perimeter drywall removal with cavity drying, per square foot	So the repair lasts, national estimate for removal, disposal and drying of the opened assembly.	$1.50 to $4.00
Attic air sealing and insulation top up, by an insulation contractor	With sound workmanship in mind, national estimate for sealing attic bypasses and bringing depth back to code.	$1,200 to $4,000
Heat cable installed at the eave and in the gutter, by a contractor	Before the finish work begins, national estimate for a separate trade, not part of our cleanup work plan.	$600 to $2,500
After hours or overnight dispatch charge	National estimate for nights, weekends and holidays, billed once as opposed to per hour.	$100 to $400 nationally

How many eaves are leaking
One dam over one room is a contained job. Three sides of a house during a long thaw is three separate saturated sections.
How far the water ran along the wall
For a job done right, water spreads sideways on the top plate before it drops.
Whether the ice has to be removed first
Steam removal is its own contractor visit and is more often than not billed hourly. It is not optional while water is still backing up.
How much ceiling, wall and trim has to come out
Board that can be dried in position costs a fraction of what removal and rebuild cost. Delaminated board, wet insulation and swollen casing move it into removal work.
Insulation type and depth at the perimeter
Blown in material at the eave has to be extracted as opposed to lifted out. Replacement is measured by area and by the R value going back.
Cold weather drying days
For a job done right, air movers run roughly $25 to $40 per unit per day and Professional dehumidifiers roughly $70 to $110 per unit per day.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Before the finish work begins, water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

The dam rebuilds every night it refreezes

For a job done right, one warm afternoon and one cold night is all it takes to make more ice.

This water is above the line the roof was designed for

For a job done right, shingles shed running water, they do not hold standing water.

Wet insulation makes the next dam worse

With sound workmanship in mind, soaked material at the eave stops insulating, so more heat reaches the roof deck and more snow melts.

Cold cavities hold water for weeks on their own

Before the finish work begins, framing at 35 degrees releases moisture very slowly.

Helpful service information

What to know about ice dam leak cleanup

With sound workmanship in mind, start with the short explanation. Before the finish work begins, open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

Before the finish work begins, heat leaking from the house warms the roof deck over the living space.

Read the explanation

Before the finish work begins, the physics here are simple and they explain everything about where the water shows up.

How the next step is decided

With sound workmanship in mind, ice dams form where heat loss is concentrated, so they come back in the same place until that path is closed.

Read the explanation

For a job done right, recurrence is the part that matters for your money. With sound workmanship in mind, ice dams form where heat loss is concentrated, so they come back in the same place until that path is closed.

What may change the work

It enters over the top plate at the outside wall, so the first water-soaked materials are the ceiling perimeter and the top of the wall cavity.

Read the explanation

Inside the building, ice dam water behaves unlike any other leak we see to. It enters over the top plate at the outside wall, so the first water-soaked materials are the ceiling perimeter and the top of the wall cavity.

Common questions

Questions about ice dam leak cleanup

What is an ice dam and why does it leak?

With sound workmanship in mind, heat escaping into your attic melts snow on the upper roof. Before the finish work begins, that water runs down and refreezes at the cold overhang, building a ridge of ice.

How much does ice dam leak cleanup cost?

So the repair lasts, nationally, one room dried in position more often than not runs about $600 to $2,000. So the repair lasts, several leaking eaves with removal as a matter of course run $3,000 to $9,000.

Does insurance cover ice dam damage?

So the repair lasts, more often than not yes for the interior damage, because it is treated as sudden weather damage. For a job done right, many carriers also reimburse ice removal as mitigation.

Can I chip the ice off myself?

For a job done right, no. With sound workmanship in mind, do not chip, hammer, chisel or pressure wash ice on a roof, and do not put a ladder against an icy building.

Should I use a roof rake or salt?

So the repair lasts, a roof rake used from the ground is reasonable for pulling snow off the lower roof.

How is the ice actually removed?

For a job done right, low pressure steam is the correct method and it is what the specialty crews use.

Why is the water coming out over my window?

For a job done right, the water enters over the top plate and drops into the wall cavity.
