This is a very common issue here. During winter, snow and ice can accumulate, creating ice dams that trap water against your roof. As it slowly melts, this water can seep under shingles and compromise the underlayment. Our inspections specifically check for ice dam damage and weakened seals to prevent these springtime surprises.

Saint Paul's freeze-thaw cycles are the main culprit. Metal flashing expands and contracts with temperature swings, which can loosen the sealant and fasteners over time. Once compromised, wind can catch the loose edge and lift it further. We repair or replace flashing using techniques and materials designed to handle our local temperature extremes for a longer-lasting seal.

After major snowfalls or in early spring, check your attic for moisture stains, look for icicles forming at the eaves (a sign of ice dams), and visually inspect your roof's valleys and flashing from the ground for any visible lifting or separation. If you see anything concerning, a professional inspection from a local roofer like us can identify and fix small problems before they lead to costly interior water damage.
