Uncovering the Damage Caused By Ice Dams

Uncovering the Damage Caused By Ice Dams

As we enter the beautiful spring season, with warmer weather and melting snow, we wanted to bring a crucial matter regarding your roofs to your attention. Even though the ice may be gone, the damage caused by ice dams during winter can still pose a significant threat to your roofs.

We have seen several cases where homeowners have discovered severe damage to their roofs caused by ice dams. These ice dams, formed by the freezing and melting of snow on roofs, can result in costly repairs and long-term damage if not addressed promptly.

As highlighted in the accompanying images, you may notice visible damage to the shingles along the eaves caused by ice dams. However, it's crucial to understand that the impact of ice dams goes beyond what meets the eye.

The water trapped by ice dams can seep into the roof structure, resulting in hidden issues such as rot, mold growth, and even structural damage.

 

Furthermore, the weight of the ice dams can place excessive stress on your roof, potentially causing sagging or even collapse. It's imperative to address ice dam damage promptly to prevent further deterioration and ensure the long-term health of your roof.
