What should I do today if I have ice dams?
ENERGY STAR says a history of ice dams signals serious attic air leaks that should be investigated before adding insulation or foam. Emergency ice dam removal by steam commonly runs $400–$700 per visit, and steamers run at about 290°F without cutting shingles.
How does attic foam prevent ice dams?
ENERGY STAR explains that keeping the attic cold in winter reduces ice damming, because warm attic air melts roof snow that refreezes at the gutters. Attic air sealing combined with insulation can help alleviate dangerous ice dams.
What should I check when hiring a pro?
Ask the pro for proof of licence and insurance before work starts. Oklahoma's rebate program requires a licensed professional installer and a final attic insulation level of at least R-49, so get that target in writing.
Can I get a rebate for attic foam work?
OG&E rebates of up to $500 apply to qualifying attic insulation, but applications are first-come, first-served until funds are reserved. Keep your invoice and proof of purchase, since rebates are closed and return in 2027.
What to do next
- Call the local pro and ask for an in-person attic inspection to find air leaks before any foam goes in.
- Ask for proof of licence and insurance, and confirm the installer is a licensed professional as Oklahoma rebates require.
- Request a written quote that lists the final R-value (R-49 is the ENERGY STAR target for an uninsulated Zone 3 attic) and the foam thickness on the installer's certificate.
- Check your utility's rebate page before work starts and keep the dated invoice and proof of purchase.
- Call (918) 727-7715 or email [email protected] for a free quote from an independent, insured spray foam insulation contractor.
