Aultman Siding & Windows | Roofing Services in East Peoria, IL 61611

Proper roof installation is crucial for preventing ice dams. We focus on creating a tight thermal envelope with adequate attic insulation and ventilation. This keeps your roof's surface temperature more even, preventing snow from melting and refreezing at the eaves. We also use high-quality underlayment and ice-and-water shield along the eaves and valleys, providing an extra barrier against water infiltration if ice dams do form.

Yes, indirectly. Upgrading to energy-efficient windows reduces heat loss from your home. This helps maintain a more consistent attic temperature, which is a primary factor in ice dam formation. By keeping warm air inside your living spaces, your roof stays cooler, minimizing the snowmelt that leads to ice dams and gutter blockages common in our East Peoria winters.

First, address any immediate interior water leaks to prevent further damage. Then, contact us for a professional assessment. We'll inspect for damaged shingles, compromised underlayment, and issues with soffits or gutters. Our repair process focuses on not just fixing the visible damage, but also correcting the underlying ventilation or insulation issues to prevent a recurrence next winter.
