Expert Roofing Services for Removing Ice Dams
Understanding Ice Dam Formation
Many Minnesota homeowners are familiar with ice dams but might need help understanding why they occur. Here’s a quick rundown:
Warmth escaping from your home or heat from the sun causes snow on your roof to melt. This meltwater flows down the roof, refreezing when it reaches the colder eaves. If not addressed, this cycle causes water to pool behind the ice at the eaves, which could lead to significant leakage and damage inside your home. Continuous melting and refreezing increase the weight of ice, creating substantial pressure across your roof.
An ice dam can also abruptly collapse if temperatures rise, posing immediate hazards. Alternatively, it may persist through winter, causing ongoing stress to your roof. It is crucial to recognize signs of ice-related damage early and consult a professional for removal and repair.
Why Professional Removal is Essential
Significant ice dam buildup can weaken fascia, damage gutters, or tear off asphalt shingles. Given the potential severity of damage from ice dams, we recommend a professional inspection to identify any necessary repairs. An early spring inspection can prevent minor issues from escalating into major expenses.
