A.S. Construction | Plumbing & Roofing in Philadelphia, PA 19120

Absolutely. While ice dams form on the roof, the resulting water infiltration can travel into walls and ceilings, potentially damaging pipes, insulation, and causing mold. A proactive plumbing inspection from A.S. Construction can identify vulnerable points in your system and attic, allowing us to recommend preventative measures alongside roof-specific repairs to create a comprehensive defense against winter water damage.

Moss retains moisture against your roof surface, which accelerates the breakdown of asphalt shingles and can lead to wood rot in the decking underneath. In Philadelphia's climate, this trapped moisture also creates an ideal environment for algae and can worsen ice dam formation in winter. Our roofing services include safe moss removal and treatment to restore your roof's protective function and extend its lifespan.

This integrated approach is our specialty. For instance, repairing an ice-dam-damaged roof often reveals water damage in the attic that may affect plumbing vents, insulation, or even cause leaks. As your single-point general contractor, we coordinate the roofing repair and any necessary plumbing work seamlessly. This ensures the entire system—from the roof surface to the pipes inside your walls—is properly sealed and protected, saving you time and ensuring consistent quality.
