Ice Dam Salt

• Cost: $100 to $150 per hour.
• Used for smaller roofs and combined with other methods.
• About 1 pound of salt thaws 36 sq.ft. of space.
• Takes about 2 hours to apply and hours to melt.
• Use the right type of salt (e.g., calcium chloride is safest).

Roof Melt Tablets

• Cost: $100 to $150 per hour.
• Tablets thrown onto the roof to thaw ice in chunks.
• Convenient but can be risky in high or hard-to-reach areas.
• Effective for small areas; may require more tablets for larger ice.

Chipping

• Cost: $200 to $300 per hour, 4 to 6 hours depending on ice and roof.
• Involves chipping away ice with hammers and chisels.
• Risky, as it can damage the roofing material.

High-Pressure Water

• Cost: $200 to $400 per hour, 2 to 5 hours to complete.
• Uses hot water or high pressure to melt and remove ice.
• Messy but effective; can damage certain roof types if not sealed properly.

Steam Ice Dam Removal

• Cost: $400 to $600 per hour, 2 to 3 hours for an average-sized roof.
• Uses steam to cut ice into chunks and remove them.
• Fastest and least messy method but also the most expensive.

• ‍Insertion and Steaming: This method involves inserting a special tube into the ice dam and using steam to melt the ice.‍
• Roof Raking: Using a long-handled tool, you can remove snow from the roof, which helps prevent ice dams from forming.‍
• Chemical De-Icers: Some chemicals can be applied to the roof to melt the ice and prevent further buildup.‍
• Heat Cables: These are electric cables installed on the roof to melt the ice and create channels for water to flow off the roof.
