When winter hits hard, ice dams become more than just an inconvenience—they become an emergency. Roof leaks, structural damage, safety hazards, and frustrated homeowners can turn into expensive problems fast. If you’re a contractor, roofer, or property manager looking for the most reliable and effective ice dam removal equipment, the Arctic Steamer from American Pressure stands in a category of its own.

Built for brutal cold, designed for mobility, and engineered for real-world performance, the Arctic Steamer isn’t just another hot water machine—it’s the first and only steamer designed specifically for ice dam removal.

Why Steam Is the Gold Standard for Ice Dam Removal

Before diving into the features of the Arctic Steamer, it’s important to understand why steam is the preferred method for removing ice dams.

✔ Low Pressure = No Roof Damage

Unlike high-pressure hot water systems that can tear up shingles, granules, and underlayment, a steamer uses low pressure to gently melt ice without harming roofing material.

✔ 290°F Steam = Fast, Efficient Ice Melting

Steam at nearly 300 degrees slices through ice quickly.
That means:

• Less water runoff
  
  
• Faster job completion
  
  
• Fewer callbacks
  
  
• Happier customers
  
  

✔ No Hammering, Pounding, or Chiseling

Old-school methods damage roofs and void warranties.
Steam means:

• No impact tools
  
  
• No breaking shingles
  
  
• No hidden water intrusion
  
  

✔ Works Well Below Freezing

Steamers don’t rely on ambient temperatures—they operate flawlessly in deep winter.
Perfect for Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and other heavy-freeze areas.

✔ Peace of Mind for You and the Homeowner

Steam is safe, effective, and highly controllable.
The Arctic Steamer gives you the precision and reliability your customers expect.

Introducing the Arctic Steamer: Built for the Coldest Jobs

The Arctic Steamer is engineered for one purpose: melting ice dams as safely and efficiently as possible. Every component, from the burner cage to the float tank, is designed with winter performance and job-site durability in mind.

Key Features Contractors Love

? Rugged, Dependable Construction

Built for daily winter use, the Arctic Steamer is as tough as the job demands.
Its stainless-steel lid and reinforced frame ensure longevity, even in harsh conditions.

? Easy Winterization and Operation

The easy-access float tank makes winterizing simple—no complicated disassembly, no guessing.
This is huge for contractors who need reliability during the coldest stretches of the year.

? Extremely Mobile (Even in Snow)

With oversized flat-free tires, a turn-style handle, and a lightweight dry weight of only 380 pounds, this machine is surprisingly easy to maneuver.
Whether you’re working on steep drives, uneven yards, or snow-packed sidewalks, the Arctic Steamer is built to move with you.

? Built-In Protection & Safety Features

The burner cage protection, pressure relief valve, adjustable temperature control, and water separator fuel filter give you peace of mind during long, demanding jobs.

? 400+ Feet of Hose Support

Most machines lose pressure or performance when you add more hose.
Not the Arctic Steamer.
It can support well over 400 feet of hose and maintain normal operation.

This means:

• You can leave the machine in your truck
  
  
• No unloading and reloading
  
  
• Faster setup and cleanup
  
  
• More jobs per day
  
  

This is a major advantage in winter, when mobility and speed matter most.
