Arctic Steamer: Get Ready for Ice Dam Season

Posted by American Pressure Inc on 30th Oct 2025

If you’ve ever dealt with ice dams, you know how fast they can wreak havoc on roofs and gutters. With the Arctic Steamer, you can tackle those tough winter jobs quickly, safely, and efficiently, all while keeping your crew busy and your customers happy.

Save Before Inventory Runs Out

Last year, many contractors missed their chance when inventory sold out fast. Don’t let that happen again, the Arctic Steamer is sold throughout the U.S. and Canada, and demand spikes as soon as ice dam season hits.

Why Choose the Arctic Steamer?

  • Low-pressure, high-temperature performance melts ice quickly without damaging shingles or gutters.

  • Durable, professional-grade design made to handle tough winter jobs.

  • Professional accessory packages available, up to 300 feet of steamer hose and plenty of replacement parts.

  • Earn more during the off-season: Ice dam removal can bill between $400–$500 per hour for a two-person crew. That means your investment can pay for itself fast.

Keep Your Steamer Running Like New: Prevent Scale Buildup

To keep your Arctic Steamer performing at its best, regular maintenance is key, and that starts with preventing scale buildup. Over time, mineral deposits from hard water can reduce heating efficiency and shorten equipment life.

That’s where Scale Away and Scale Puck come in.

  • Scale Away is a powerful descaling solution designed to break down mineral buildup safely and effectively. Use it periodically to keep your coils clean and running efficiently.

  • Scale Puck is an easy drop-in preventive treatment that helps stop scale before it starts — perfect for daily use in your Arctic Steamer system.

These two products together can extend the life of your steamer, improve heat transfer, and help you avoid costly downtime.
