Ice dams are a classic Edmonton winter problem. Meltwater backs up under shingles along the eaves and leaks into walls and ceilings. Ice dam removal cost in Edmonton is usually $500 to $1,500 for professional steam removal, and it is far cheaper than repairing water-damaged insulation and drywall. This guide shows how ice dams connect to roof leaks, ventilation and eavestroughs, and how to prevent them before the snow falls.
