Common Areas Where Ice Dams Form
- Roof Valleys – These low spots direct water runoff, making them a prime area for ice dams. Without proper insulation and ventilation, escaping heat can speed up snowmelt, increasing the risk of ice buildup.
- Gutters and Downspouts – Clogged or frozen gutters prevent melted snow from draining properly, leading to water backup and refreezing along the roof’s edge.
- Roof Edges – The outer parts of the roof are more exposed to cold air, making them a common spot for ice dams. Poor insulation allows warm air to escape, melting snow near the edges, where it refreezes.
- Flat Roofs – Without a steep slope to guide water away, snow and ice can build up along the edges, increasing the chance of ice dams.
- Dormers and Skylights – These features create weak points in the roof. If they aren’t properly insulated or sealed, warm air can escape, causing uneven snowmelt and ice buildup.
- Chimneys and Vent Pipes – These areas release warm air, creating temperature differences on the roof that lead to uneven melting and refreezing.
Our Safe and Effective Ice Dam Removal Process
At Worthy Construction, we take pride in protecting your roof with safe, damage-free methods and advanced ice dam removal equipment. Instead of risky techniques like chipping or scraping which can harm your shingles, we rely on professional steam equipment. This gentle yet effective method safely melts ice without compromising the integrity of your roof.
Effectively removing ice dams prevents potential roof leaks and further damage to your home. Our approach ensures a thorough, lasting solution, restoring your peace of mind and keeping your property protected during harsh winter conditions. Your home’s safety and long-term protection remain our top priorities.

Preventing Ice Dams Before They Start
As a reliable roofing company, we specialize in more than just roof repairs, we also provide expert services to eliminate ice dams. While ice dam removal is an essential part of the solution, we focus on preventing them from coming back. Our team will assess your home to identify issues like poor insulation or inadequate attic ventilation that contribute to ice dam formation.
By addressing these concerns, we help eliminate ice dams and reduce the chances of them returning in the future. In addition, regular roof maintenance and roof inspections ensure your home stays protected throughout the winter, keeping your roof in top condition for years to come.
The Importance of Timely Ice Dam Removal
Late-season ice dam removal can lead to severe damage that’s difficult and costly to repair. Here’s why acting promptly is essential:
- Minimizes Water Damage: Prompt removal prevents water from seeping into your attic or interior.
- Avoids Structural Damage: Reduces the risk of rotting rafters and compromised roofing decking.
- Prevents Gutter Collapse: Large ice dams add weight that can cause gutters or fascia to fall.
- Reduces Mold & Mildew Risks: Persistent moisture promotes unhealthy mold growth.

The owner is such a man of integrity. When we called about a leak in our roof, he came immediately and looked over not only the leak area but the roof in general. He offered to fix where the leak was located as a first attempt to see if that fixed the problem. He did not charge for anything but to only keep him in mind if it did not work. He then called back a week later to check. This type of customer is few and far between and I truly recommend this company!
