The most effective prevention combines proper attic insulation and ventilation to minimize heat loss, which melts snow unevenly. We also recommend installing heated gutter cables in key areas and ensuring your gutters are clean and clear before winter to allow for proper drainage, stopping ice blockages before they start.

The ridge cap is the critical seal along the peak of your roof. In Provo, temperature swings and heavy snow can cause it to crack, loosen, or lift. A compromised ridge cap allows wind-driven rain and snowmelt to infiltrate your attic, leading to leaks and insulation damage. Keeping it in good condition is vital for a watertight roof.

In most cases, a damaged ridge cap can be repaired or replaced independently. Our experts will assess the extent of the damage to the surrounding shingles. We can carefully remove the damaged cap and install a new, properly sealed one, which is a cost-effective solution that extends the life of your existing roof.
