What Causes Ice Dams?
An ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at the edge of a roof and prevents melting snow from draining off of the roof. The water that backs up behind the damn can leak into a home and cause damage to walls, ceilings, insulation and other parts of the house.How ice dams form on your roof:
1. Indoor heating rises through the ceiling into the attic and warms the roof surface.
2. Snow of the heated part of the roof melts and flows down until it reaches that part of the roof that is below 32 degrees. Water freezes into an ice dam.
3. The dam grows as it is fed by melting snow above, but water held by the dam backs up and stays liquid.
4. Eventually, the water finds cracks in the roof covering and flows into the attic, from where it could seem through the ceiling and the interior walls.

Palumbo Services, Inc. opened its doors in 1995 and incorporated in 1996. Since the very beginning, we have taken great pride in old fashion customer service, professionalism, and a job well done. We have always strongly believed in the old adage that “any job worth doing is worth doing right!” We’ve been around for more than a decade and looking forward to a century in business. With 17-years of ice dam removal experience under our belt, Palumbo Services, Inc. has a perfect A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. You will surely be pleased with your decision to use Palumbo Services, Inc. Our quality will exceed your expectations!Ice dam removal work can be quite expensive, but trust us when we say “hire a professional”. We have seen more damage done to rooftops by homeowners and non-qualified (often times uninsured) contractors than we can keep count of. It’s important to remember that the shingles atop your roof are very delicate and need to be treated with great care.
High-pressure water, hammers and chisels should NEVER be used atop your roof in an effort to remove ice. Steaming and/or low-pressure hot water is the ONLY safe and effective way to remove ice from your rooftop without damaging your shingles or gutters! If snow is to be removed from atop your roof, make certain your contractor is using ONLY poly-edged shovels.
Because ice dam removal is such an expensive process, it draws in a lot of contractors who have little to no experience in removing ice dams. Make certain you hire a qualified and insured contractor who uses only steam to remove your ice dam! Palumbo Services, Inc. is your one-stop-shop for safe and effective professional snow and ice dam removal services.
Ice Dam Definition: "An ice dam can occur when snow accumulates on the slanted roof of a house with inadequate insulation and warm air leaks into the attic at penetrations for plumbing stacks, wiring, chimneys, attic hatches, recessed lights, etc. These warm air leaks are known as attic bypasses.
1. Clean leaves, sticks, and debris from gutters and down spouts each fall. This basic maintenance will allow melting snow to flow into the gutters and down the spouts as intended
