Ice Dam removal service

Ice dams are ridges of ice that form along the edges of your roof, usually after heavy snowfall followed by fluctuating temperatures. When heat from inside your home escapes into the attic, it warms the roof and melts the snow. The melted snow runs down the roof and refreezes at the colder eaves, creating a dam of ice. Over time, this dam can grow larger, trapping more melted water behind it.

The real danger of ice dams lies in the water that gets trapped behind them. As this water pools up, it can seep under the shingles and leak into your home. This leads to water damage in your attic, ceilings, insulation, and even walls. Moisture from the leaks can also create the perfect environment for mold and mildew to grow, which can cause health issues and costly repairs if not addressed quickly.
