Ice Dam Removal
Leading Ice Dam Removal Company
As local Billings roofers, Kirkness Roofing Inc. understands that our community receives it’s fair share of rain, hail, sleet and snow. According to the National Weather Service, the city of Billings receives about 28 inches of snow annually, about the same amount as the national average. While white winters may be beautiful; snow, sleet and ice can cause quite a bit of havoc on your property, especially your roof.
The Kirkness Roofing Inc. team has diligently been serving the greater Billings, MT area for the last 20 years and in all those years we’ve recognized that ice dams are a common problem for homeowners in the area.
What Is An Ice Dam?
Ice dams are an accumulation of ice on various parts of your roof, depending on the slopes. They tend to occur most often near the roof edges. When the layers of snow on your roof melts, this water collects and freezes again forming an ice dam.
Dangers of Ice Dams
Ice dams place tremendous pressure on the roof structure of your home. The moisture of these dams also significantly damages your shingles, gutters and downspouts. Melting ice may cause leakages in your home if there are gaps and holes in your roofing system. And for those who are not careful, you also risk being hit by falling icicles and large chunks of ice breaking off as it heats up.
Effective Ice Dam Removal By Kirkness Roofing Inc.
At Kirkness Roofing Inc., we believe that the safest and most effective way to remove ice dams is with the power of steam. Fighting fire with fire as some would say. The ice dam steaming system that we use functions using high temperatures but low pressure. The high temperatures effectively and efficiently melts the ice on your roof, this water either evaporates or drains away from your home. The low pressure of the steaming system protects your shingles as high pressure systems tend to chip away at your roofing materials.

I could not be happier with my experience with Kirkness Roofing. I had been putting off having my roof replaced for way too long, so was a bit apprehensive. My salesman Jerome was very professional. He arranged for the crew to arrive on … More a day in early May when there was a break in the weather. The crew arrived early, worked all day, and to my amazement got the entire job completed in one day! They did a terrific job as well. Overall it was a great experience and I recommend them very highly!

I would like to thank Jerome from Kirkness Roofing for coming out to inspect my roof-He was very professional. He showed me the pictures of my roof and explained what he had found. He explained I had some wind damage on the shingles but … More no hail damage. My shingles are about 20 some years old but still good for a few years more. I also told Jerome I had a small leak in my garage by my chimney . Jerome went back on the roof to look at the flashing area and he told me there was some open breaks around the chimney. He said he could seal them for me at no charge so I said great. Kirkness I would like to say you have great people that work for you and if my roof does need repair in the future I would call you to install it for me. Thanks-Wayne Reese from Laurel, Mt.
