In our area, the most common cause is ice dam damage. During winter, ice builds up along your eaves, preventing melting snow from draining. This water can then seep under shingles. When the final thaw happens, that existing damage allows leaks to appear. We inspect for compromised shingles, damaged flashing, and wet insulation to find the exact entry point.

It often needs replacement. Wet insulation loses its R-value (ability to insulate) and can lead to mold, wood rot, and higher energy bills. During our inspection, we assess the extent and duration of the moisture. While small, recent damp spots might be salvageable, widespread or long-term saturation typically requires replacement to ensure your home stays energy-efficient and structurally sound.

A proactive fall inspection is key. We recommend having us check your shingles, seals around vents and chimneys, and most importantly, your gutter system. Ensuring gutters are clean and properly attached helps prevent ice dams. We can also assess your attic ventilation, as proper airflow helps keep your roof deck cold and reduces melt-and-refreeze cycles that cause ice dams.
