Why Ice Dams Are Serious
6 WAYS ICE DAMS DAMAGE YOUR HOME
Every hour an ice dam sits on your roof, more water is getting under your shingles. Do not wait. Call us and we will stop the damage today.
Water Pours Into Your Home
Ice dams trap melting snow on your roof. That water has nowhere to go except under your shingles and into your home. Ceilings, walls, and insulation all get soaked.
Ceilings and Walls Get Ruined
Once water gets past your shingles, it soaks into your drywall, plaster, and insulation. Repairs can cost $5,000 to $20,000 depending on how long the leak goes unnoticed.
Mold Grows in Your Walls
Wet insulation and drywall grow mold within 24 to 48 hours. Mold is a serious health risk for your family, especially children and anyone with allergies or asthma.
Gutters Rip Off Your Home
The weight of ice dams can tear your gutters completely off the house. Gutter replacement costs $1,500 to $4,000. Ice dam removal costs a fraction of that.
Icicles Are Dangerous
Large icicles can fall and seriously injure a person or pet walking below. In Agawam, Feeding Hills, and Southwick, we see this every winter. Do not let it happen to your family.
Your Roof Shingles Get Destroyed
Ice dams force water under your shingles, lifting and cracking them. What starts as an ice dam problem becomes a full shingle replacement. Prevention is far cheaper.
Our Process
WE USE STEAM. NOT SHOVELS.
NOT SALT. NOT AXES.
Many companies hack at ice dams with tools that damage your shingles and gutters. We use professional steam equipment that melts ice gently and safely, with zero damage to your roof.
Safe Ice Removal
We carefully remove ice dams without damaging your shingles, gutters, or roof structure. For homeowners who want the absolute gentlest option, we also offer professional steam removal by request. Steam melts ice without any tools touching your roof at all.
We Create Drainage Channels
We cut channels through the ice dam to let the trapped water drain off your roof immediately. This stops the leak the same day.
Full Roof Inspection
After removal, we inspect your roof for any damage the ice dam may have caused. We document everything and give you a written report.
Prevention Plan
We tell you exactly why the ice dam formed and what to do to prevent it next winter. Usually it is a ventilation or insulation issue both of which we can fix.
Long-Term Prevention
STOP ICE DAMS FROM
EVER COMING BACK.
Removing an ice dam is the emergency fix. Preventing them is the permanent solution. Here is how we help homeowners in Agawam, Feeding Hills, Southwick, and Suffield stay ice-dam-free every winter.
Proper Attic Ventilation
The number one cause of ice dams is a warm attic. When your attic is warm, it melts snow on the roof. That water runs down and refreezes at the cold edge. Proper ventilation keeps your attic cold so snow does not melt in the first place.
Attic Insulation
Good insulation keeps your home's heat inside your living space instead of letting it escape into your attic. Less heat in the attic means less snow melting on your roof.
Ice and Water Shield
During any roof replacement, we install ice and water shield membrane along your roof edges. This waterproof layer protects your home even if an ice dam forms.
Roof Raking After Big Storms
After a heavy snowfall, removing the first few feet of snow from your roof edge prevents ice dams from forming. We can show you how to do this safely from the ground.
WANT THE GENTLEST REMOVAL POSSIBLE? ASK ABOUT STEAM.
Steam removal is available by request. It is the safest method for older roofs, delicate shingles, or homeowners who want zero tools touching their roof. The steam melts ice completely without any scraping, chipping, or pressure. Ask us about it when you call.

YOUR NEIGHBORS TRUST THRIVE
"I had ice dams every single winter for 10 years. I called Thrive in a panic when water started dripping through my ceiling. They came out the next morning, removed the ice dam with steam, and stopped the leak the same day. Then they fixed my ventilation so it has never happened again."

Nancy B.

"The steam removal was incredible. I expected them to be hacking at my roof with tools. Instead they used this gentle steam and the ice just melted away. No damage to my shingles at all. They also found a small leak I did not know about and fixed it the same day."
