Ice Dam FAQs
Why do ice dams happen?
Ice dams often result from heat loss, snow melt/refreeze cycles, and poor ventilation or insulation patterns. Water backs up and can enter vulnerable areas.
Can ice dams cause leaks?
Yes. Ice dams can force water under shingles or into transitions, leading to interior leaks and damage.
How do you prevent ice dams long-term?
Prevention typically involves better ventilation (when applicable), insulation improvements, and protecting vulnerable roof areas with the right underlayment strategy.
Do you repair damage after ice dams?
Yes. If ice dams cause leaks or damage, we can assess, repair, and recommend the best next steps.
