🚨 This isn’t just snow on a roof.
This is an ICE DAM.
When heat escapes from your attic, it melts the snow higher on the roof. The water runs down to the colder eaves, refreezes, and creates a dam that traps water behind it.
The dangerous part?
The leak often isn’t caused by water flowing OVER the roof.
It’s caused by water backing UP UNDER the shingles.
That’s why building codes require Ice & Water Shield in valleys and, in many northern states, along the eaves to help protect homes from ice dam damage.
If you’ve noticed:
❄️ Large icicles
❄️ Ice buildup at the gutters
❄️ Water stains on ceilings
❄️ Wet insulation in the attic
Your roof may already be experiencing ice dam issues.
We inspect roofs for homeowners, homebuyers, sellers, and realtors who want honest answers—not high-pressure sales tactics.
Sometimes the solution is ventilation.
Sometimes insulation.
Sometimes roofing details.
Sometimes all three.
The key is diagnosing the actual problem before spending money on the wrong fix.
