Ice dams can wreak havoc on your roof and rain gutter system during the harsh Utah winter. At Gutter Boys, we offer safe, effective ice dam removal services that prevent leaks, protect your roof, and keep your gutters flowing—even in freezing temperatures.

What Is an Ice Dam and Why It’s a Problem

An ice dam forms when snow on your roof melts and refreezes at the edge, typically over the eaves and rain gutters. This creates a barrier that traps additional meltwater, forcing it under shingles and into your roof. Left untreated, ice dams can cause interior leaks, ceiling damage, and structural issues.

Utah’s heavy snowfalls and fluctuating winter temperatures make homes especially vulnerable to ice dams. That’s why early removal and prevention are key.

Our Safe and Effective Ice Dam Removal Process

At Gutter Boys, we use low-pressure steam or safe heat methods—never harsh chemicals or damaging tools—to remove ice dams without harming your roof, shingles, or gutters. Our process includes:

  • Careful evaluation of your roof and drainage system
  • Targeted steam or thermal removal to break up the dam
  • Clearing of gutters and downspouts to restore water flow
  • Optional advice or installation of heat cable for prevention

We work efficiently and safely, using proper gear and techniques to protect both your property and our team in harsh winter conditions.

Signs You May Have an Ice Dam

  • Large icicles forming along the gutter edge
  • Water stains on ceilings or walls
  • Ice buildup over eaves or gutter lines
  • Uneven roof snow melt patterns

If you spot any of these warning signs, don’t wait—early action can prevent extensive damage.

Prevent Future Ice Dams

Once your ice dam is removed, we can recommend long-term solutions like heat cable installation or improved attic ventilation to help prevent recurrence. Keeping gutters clean and free-flowing year-round is another essential step in reducing ice dam risk.
