GLEN'S ROOFING | Roofing Services in Hadley, NY 12835

This is a common issue in our area. As heavy Adirondack snow melts, water can seep under shingles weakened by winter freeze-thaw cycles or find paths through tiny cracks. Often, the leak isn't directly above the interior water spot. GLEN'S ROOFING performs detailed inspections to trace the water's path back to its source—commonly at flashings, valleys, or under ice dams—and provides a permanent repair, not just a patch.

Prevention starts with controlling attic heat. We recommend ensuring your attic is properly insulated and ventilated so roof sheathing stays cold, preventing snow from melting and refreezing at the eaves. For existing dams, safe removal is key to prevent structural damage and leaks. We can assess your specific roof, improve ventilation if needed, and advise on protective measures like installing ice and water shield along the eaves during your next roof replacement.

Often, yes. Many ice dam leaks are localized. Our first step is a careful inspection to assess the extent of water damage to the roof deck and underlayment. If the damage is contained, we can remove the affected shingles, replace any compromised decking, and install new, high-quality underlayment and shingles with proper sealing. We'll also address the root cause, like ventilation, to help prevent future dams, giving you a targeted, cost-effective repair.
