If you get ice dams in inaccessible places consider salt grenades made with scrap pantyhose or old socks. Chuck above ice dam, salt melts out onto the dam. Slingshot helps.

I stuff a corner of the sock/pantyhose/cheesecloth grenade into the top of one of the pole sections of my roof rake and flip it from the rake directly onto the roof. Takes a little practice but it's slick once you get the hang of it. I'm too short to just toss it up there under my own power.
