Ice Dam Removal Services Rochester, NY

Ice Dam Removal Services

Are there Icicles hanging along the eaves and water leaking into your house? Icicles might look beautiful, but they are a tell-tale sign you're having trouble with ice dams.

When there is an ice dam on the roof, it means there is heat loss issue caused by a lack of insulation. Improper insulation lets heat escape the roof unevenly and melt snow. Then, the melted snow flows and refreezes along the colder edges. Ice buildups grow along the edge of a roof and the gutters. They get bigger and bigger and prevent snow from melting and draining off.

Ice dams can become large and heavy enough to damage your gutters and shingles. They also can cause water to back up and leak into your house. The moisture also causes mold to build up in your attic and attracts carpenter ants. If the buildup becomes large enough, it also causes structural damage.

Warning Signs:

• Large Icicles
• Falling Gutters
• Mold in attic
• Water stained ceilings
• Wet Insulation
• Ants

WHEN ARE EMERGENCY ICE DAM REPAIRS NEEDED?

It is an emergency when water is leaking into your attic. The short-term solution is to cut a channel through the dam to allow the water to drain off of your roof. Beware of trying to do this yourself or looking for a cheap fix. This is hazardous work that requires an expert's touch. If someone doesn't know what they are doing, they could easily slip and fall. Properly cutting and steaming through ice takes experience. Or else the risk of causing permanent damage is high.

Don't wait until you have a massive dam with giant icicles hanging off your roof. Ignoring the warning signs can cause wet insulation, mold, attractants and damage the structure of your home. Water damage in your attic can result in stained ceilings and cracks in the walls. Outside your home, your gutters can fall off and the shingles can break down too.
