Snow & Ice Damming Alert!

January 28, 2026

Protect Your Property

Winter is here - and with it comes one of the most important signals your roof may be failing: ice damming. If you’ve noticed thick ridges of ice forming along your roofline, or you are experiencing leaks inside during freeze–thaw cycles, it could signal that a roof replacement is needed.

 

Ice dams don’t just happen because of cold weather - they’re often a sign of:

 

  • Aging shingles that can’t shed water properly
  • Underlying roof damage or deterioration
  • Poor or failing attic ventilation
  • Insufficient insulation allowing heat to escape

 

If not properly managed, ice damming may result in significant expenses by causing interior water damage, mold development, compromised gutters, and potential structural concerns.
