In short
Ice dams form when heat escaping into the attic melts snow that refreezes at the cold eaves, forcing water back under the shingles. We treat the cause, not just the symptom: assessing attic ventilation and insulation, installing ice & water shield, and safely removing existing ice before it leaks into your home.
What's included
- Diagnosis of heat loss, ventilation and insulation issues
- Ice & water shield membrane along eaves and valleys
- Attic ventilation and insulation improvements
- Safe ice-dam removal without damaging shingles
- Repair of any leak damage from previous ice dams
- Long-term prevention plan, not a yearly band-aid
Signs this is right for you
- Icicles and thick ice building up along the eaves
- Water stains on ceilings or walls in winter
- Recurring leaks every January and February
- Homes with warm attics and poor ventilation
FAQ
Ice Damming — your questions
Why do I keep getting ice dams every winter?
Recurring ice dams almost always trace back to heat escaping into the attic and uneven ventilation. Warm spots melt the snow, which refreezes at the cold eaves and backs water up under the shingles. Fixing the ventilation and insulation — not just chipping the ice — is what actually stops them.
Can you remove an ice dam without damaging my roof?
Yes. We remove ice dams carefully using safe methods that protect the shingles, then address the underlying cause so the problem does not simply return. We never recommend aggressive chipping that can crack cold-weather shingles.
