Ice Dam Removal face unique challenges: Every job is a panic call during a freeze, and ten customers want you the same morning their ceiling is dripping. Steaming ice off a steep, icy roof in single-digit temps without sliding off or cracking shingles. Customers who want it cheap, not understanding that water is already inside the wall. A short, brutal season where you make a year's worth of this work in a few frozen weeks. On top of all that, Jobber charges $69/month ($828/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median Ice Dam Removal Technician earns $38,000/year. Software at $828/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

The phone has been ringing since 5 a.m. because a thaw-freeze cycle left the whole town with ice dams and ceilings leaking, so my whole day is triage. First stop is a colonial where water is staining the bedroom ceiling, the worst case, so it jumps the queue. I throw down standoffs, rope off to an anchor, strap on crampons because the roof is glazed, and run the low-pressure steamer along the eave to cut a drainage channel through the dam, working slow so I don't lift a shingle. It's nine degrees and the heated hose still wants to freeze. Once water is running off the channel, I rake the rest of the snow load off the lower roof so it can't refreeze into a new dam. Second house just wants the snow pulled from the edge before it turns to ice, a cheaper preventive job. By afternoon I'm steaming a flat-roof commercial building where the drains backed up. A customer keeps asking why it costs what it does, and I explain that the ice isn't the problem, the water already in his soffit is. I refuel the generator, defrost my gloves on the truck heater, and keep moving because this whole season is six frozen weeks and every one of these calls is somebody's living room ceiling.
