The equipment behind the method — low-pressure, high-temperature steam generation.
Why Steamboat Springs Ice Dam Removal Runs On Steam
Every Steamboat Springs job runs on the Arctic Steamer® — a dedicated ice dam removal machine that produces low-pressure, high-temperature steam. The dam melts through and releases cleanly, leaving the roof surface untouched.
Chipping, hammering, pressure washing and open flame all take roof with them. Steam is the only method that separates the two, which is why it is the standard on slate, cedar, metal and asphalt alike across Steamboat Springs.

- Complete removal — down to the roof surface, gutters and downspouts included

Trim & Crown Molding Damage
The stain shows at trim because that is where the framing path ends.
Attic Sheathing & Mold

Heated Roof Cables
Self-regulating cable along the eave keeps a melt path open so water drains instead of freezing at the roof edge.

What Steamboat Springs, CO Customers Say
Asked Around Steamboat Springs
Local answers for Steamboat Springs and the surrounding communities.
Does steep ski-country pitch prevent ice dams?+
It reduces them without eliminating them. Valleys and lower roofs still dam, and what slides off steep metal has to land somewhere.
Do you service Steamboat rental properties?+
Between-guest scheduling with property managers is standard here, plus photo documentation for owners.
How deep does Yampa Valley snowpack get?+
Deep enough that scheduled load checks are ordinary maintenance rather than an emergency measure.
Is Oak Creek inside your Steamboat Springs service area?+
Yes — Steamboat Springs dispatch covers Oak Creek, Hayden, Clark, Stagecoach and the surrounding communities on the same response window. If you can see Steamboat Springs from your roof, you’re in range.
If I call tonight, when do you get to Steamboat Springs?+
We target a 24-hour arrival window for Steamboat Springs, with water-entering-the-house calls prioritized above scheduled work. During an active storm cycle the phone answer is honest rather than optimistic.
Should I have snow cleared or wait it out — explained?+
Depth alone doesn’t decide it — water content does. Wet, layered Steamboat Springs snow compressed over several storms carries far more weight than the same depth of fresh powder. Doors that stick, new ceiling cracks or roof creaking are stop-everything signals.
Does my Colorado policy pay for the interior damage?+
Coverage varies by carrier, but Colorado homeowners with active leaks frequently have both the interior damage and the emergency removal in play. Insurance restoration is a core part of our business, so the Steamboat Springs documentation is built to carrier standards from the first photo.
Should I worry about my attic after a Steamboat Springs leak?+
Mold can establish within days of wetting, and Steamboat Springs attics stay closed up all winter — ideal conditions. Any leak that soaked insulation deserves an inspection rather than an assumption that it dried.
