Before we price Commercial Ice Dam Removal, we look at the scuppers, tapered insulation and the membrane seams — the details that decide how long the work holds. You get a photographed assessment and a written scope with no obligation, and if the cause traces to a storm we document it for your carrier. Licensed and insured in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.
Commercial ice problems form where the drainage is — frozen internal drains, iced scuppers, ice ridges at parapets — and the water they hold ends up in tenant space rather than an attic.

Do flat commercial roofs get ice dams?
Yes, though the mechanism differs. Ice forms at drains, scuppers and parapet edges, blocking the drainage path so meltwater backs up across the membrane and finds seams and terminations. Because a low-slope roof cannot shed that water, a blocked drain in freezing weather puts the entire roof area at risk. Related: commercial roof snow removal & load clearing and ice dam removal.
Commercial ice dam removal using low-pressure steam. Flat roofs, parapets, internal drains and multi-building properties. 24/7 response with per-building documentation for claims.
Where Commercial Ice Actually Forms
Not usually at an eave. Internal drains freeze, scuppers ice over, and ridges build at parapets and roof-level transitions. The result is the same as a residential dam — standing water with nowhere to go — but on a membrane that was never designed to hold it.
Steam, Because Membranes Do Not Forgive
Chipping ice off a commercial membrane punctures it. Steam melts the ice free with no contact and no impact, which is the only defensible method on EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen.
Tenant Space Is the Real Exposure
A residential dam damages a ceiling. A commercial one damages inventory, equipment, and someone else’s business interruption. That raises both the urgency and the documentation standard, and we work accordingly.

Conditions We Work In
Commercial Questions We Get Asked
Straight answers for owners, boards and property managers.
Do flat commercial roofs really get ice dams?+
They get the commercial version — frozen drains and scuppers, and ice ridges at parapets. Same physics, different location, and often more expensive consequences.
Is steam safe on a commercial membrane?+
It is the only method that is. Steam removes ice with no physical contact, so EPDM, TPO and modified bitumen come through untouched.
A dam is leaking over our sales floor — what happens first?+
Containment over inventory and electrical, then steam relief channels at the leak point. Full dam removal follows once water stops entering the envelope.
Can you service several buildings during one storm cycle?+
Mapped portfolios are routed together and prioritized by condition and active-leak status.
Will insurance cover commercial ice damage?+
Active sudden intrusion is commonly covered, and business interruption may apply. Documentation quality is what determines the outcome, and we build it as we work.
Can you prevent this for next winter?+
Heat trace on drains and scuppers, insulation and ventilation correction, and scheduled clearing at agreed trigger depths.
How do I know if I need Commercial Ice Dam Removal & Steam Ice Clearing or something else?
The symptom usually tells you. We inspect before quoting and will say plainly when a smaller fix solves it — sending you a cheaper scope costs us the bigger job, and we'd rather be right than oversell.
Should I do Commercial Ice Dam Removal & Steam Ice Clearing now or wait?
If water is getting in, or the damage is spreading to something more expensive, now. If it's cosmetic and stable, it can be planned. We'll tell you which it is in writing after the inspection.
