This is a very common issue here due to our freeze-thaw cycles. Snow and ice build up in valleys and at eaves, forming ice dams. As they melt, water can seep under shingles into your roof deck and insulation. We perform targeted inspections to find these vulnerable spots and recommend solutions like improved attic ventilation, ice and water shield installation, or specific repairs to prevent future leaks.

Signs include higher heating bills, damp spots or stains on your ceilings, a musty smell in the attic, or even visible mold. Wet insulation loses its R-value and can lead to wood rot. We recommend a professional attic inspection, especially in early spring, to check insulation for moisture. We can then address the source of the leak and advise on insulation repair or replacement to restore your home's efficiency.

For our climate, proactive services are key. We prioritize comprehensive roof inspections, especially before and after winter, to catch minor issues early. Installing proper ice and water protection along eaves and valleys is crucial, as is ensuring your attic has adequate ventilation to keep the roof deck cold and prevent ice dams. For older roofs, a full replacement with these local challenges in mind provides the best long-term protection against meltwater and moisture damage.
