Hahn Roofing in Madison, WI 53703

Post-snow melt leaks are often caused by ice dams, which form when heat escapes your attic, melting snow that refreezes at the eaves. This ice blocks proper drainage, forcing water under your shingles. Hahn Roofing performs a detailed inspection to locate the entry points, makes precise repairs to the damaged areas, and addresses the root cause—often by improving attic insulation and ventilation—to prevent future ice dams and protect your home.

Repairing ice dam damage is a multi-step process. First, we safely remove any remaining ice and assess the full extent of the damage to shingles, underlayment, and decking. We then replace all compromised materials with high-quality, weather-resistant products suited for our climate. Crucially, we also evaluate your attic's airflow and insulation to correct the thermal imbalance that caused the ice dam, ensuring a long-term solution rather than just a temporary fix.

Absolutely. Prevention is key in Madison. We offer proactive attic assessments to check insulation levels and ventilation efficiency. By ensuring warm air doesn't escape to melt snow unevenly on your roof, we can significantly reduce the risk of ice dam formation. We may recommend adding insulation, installing baffles, or improving soffit and ridge venting—affordable upgrades that safeguard your roof and prevent costly winter damage.
