Ice Dam Removal

Professional ice dam removal to protect your roof and home from winter damage. Safe, effective methods that prevent leaks and structural harm without damaging your shingles.

Protect Your Roof from Winter's Worst

Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof, melting snow that refreezes at the eaves. The ice builds up, trapping water that seeps under shingles and into your home. Left unchecked, ice dams cause ceiling stains, insulation damage, and even structural rot.

At Navarro Family Roof Repair, we've been handling New Jersey winters for two generations. We know ice dams don't wait for convenient timing, and we respond quickly to prevent serious damage.

Safe, Proven Removal Methods

We use low-pressure steam to melt ice dams without harming your roof. No hammers, no salt, no shortcuts that create more problems than they solve. Our approach clears the dam, opens drainage channels, and protects your shingles.

Why steam works: It melts ice thoroughly without the shock of chipping or the chemical damage of de-icing products. Your roof stays intact while the hazard disappears.


Emergency Response When You Need It

Ice dams often announce themselves with icicles the size of baseball bats or water stains spreading across your ceiling. We treat these calls as emergencies because we know the clock is ticking.

Our crews carry the equipment to handle jobs of any size, from a single trouble spot to dams running the full length of your roofline.


Prevention Guidance Included

Once we've cleared the immediate problem, we'll walk you through why it happened. Often it's attic insulation, ventilation, or both. We'll give you straight answers about what needs fixing and what can wait.

We're roofers, not salespeople. If your attic needs better airflow, we'll tell you. If your roof is fine and you just had a rough winter, we'll tell you that too.

How it works


Emergency Assessment

We inspect the ice dam location, check for active leaks, and determine the safest removal approach for your specific roof type.

Safe Steam Removal

Our crew uses professional-grade steam equipment to melt the ice dam and cut drainage channels, allowing trapped water to flow safely off your roof.

Interior Check & Prevention Advice

We look for any interior damage and explain what caused the dam, giving you clear guidance on insulation or ventilation improvements if needed.

Common questions


Can I remove an ice dam myself?+

We don't recommend it. Climbing on an icy roof is dangerous, and tools like hammers or roof rakes often damage shingles. Salt and calcium chloride can harm your roof and landscaping. Professional steam removal is safer and more effective.

Will ice dams come back every winter?+

It depends on your attic ventilation and insulation. Some homes get ice dams during extreme weather, others get them every year because heat is escaping through the roof. After removal, we'll help you understand which situation you're in.

How quickly can you respond?+

During ice dam season, we prioritize emergency calls. If water is actively leaking into your home, we do everything possible to get there the same day or next morning.
