This is a very common local issue, often caused by ice dams. During winter, snow melts on your warm roof, then refreezes at the colder eaves, forming a dam. As more snow melts, water backs up under the shingles. Come spring thaw, that trapped water finds its way inside. We inspect for and repair the damage from ice dams and improve attic ventilation and insulation to prevent them from forming in the first place.

If you see damp, stained, or sagging insulation in your Ogden home's attic, it's often a sign of inadequate roof ventilation or a small, hidden leak. Proper ventilation allows moist air to escape, preventing condensation on the cold underside of the roof deck, which soaks into insulation. We perform a thorough attic inspection to identify the source—whether it's a ventilation issue, a leaky flashing, or compromised shingles—and provide a targeted solution.

The most critical pre-winter step is a professional roof and gutter inspection. We check for loose or damaged shingles, ensure all flashing around chimneys and vents is sealed, and verify your gutters and downspouts are clear. Properly functioning gutters are essential to channel melting snow away from your roof and foundation, which is key to preventing ice dams and the spring leaks that follow.
