All Good Roofing | Roofing Services in Fulton, NY 13069

Ice dams form in Fulton due to our heavy snow accumulation combined with heat loss from attics, which melts the bottom layer of snow. The water refreezes at the colder roof edge, creating a dam that traps water behind it, leading to leaks. We fix this by first safely removing the ice dam, then identifying and correcting the underlying cause—usually inadequate attic insulation or ventilation—and finally repairing any interior water damage to your ceilings or walls.

A leak after snowmelt is a sign of existing damage and should be addressed promptly to prevent mold, structural rot, and further interior damage. First, try to contain the water inside with buckets and towels. Then, call us for an inspection. We'll safely assess the roof from the exterior to locate the breach—often around flashing, vents, or in valleys compromised by ice—and provide a clear plan for a durable repair that considers our local freeze-thaw conditions.

Before winter hits, we recommend a professional roof and gutter inspection. We'll check for loose or damaged shingles, ensure flashing around chimneys and vents is sealed, and confirm your gutters are clear and properly draining away from your home. Most importantly, we assess your attic's insulation and ventilation, as proper airflow is key to preventing the uneven roof temperatures that cause ice dams. This proactive approach is the best defense against Fulton's tough winters.
