Lengel R Roofing & Siding | Roofing Services in Trumbull, CT 06611

Poor ventilation allows warm air from your attic to melt the snow on your roof. That meltwater then refreezes at the colder roof edges (your eaves), forming ice dams. These dams block further meltwater, which can then back up under your shingles and cause leaks. Proper ventilation, which we specialize in, keeps your attic cold and uniform in temperature to prevent this cycle.

First, avoid chipping at it yourself, as this can damage your shingles. Safely remove snow from the roof's edge using a roof rake from ground level. For the ice dam itself, it's best to call a professional like Lengel R. We can safely remove the dam and assess for any water damage or ventilation issues that need repair to prevent a recurrence.

We provide comprehensive repair. After safely addressing the ice dam and its cause (often poor ventilation), we inspect the underlying roof decking and interior for water intrusion. Our service includes replacing any rotted wood, repairing damaged insulation, and restoring your roof's structure and shingles to ensure your Trumbull home is fully protected and dry.
