Ice dams form when heat escapes from your attic, melting snow that refreezes at the eaves. We tackle this by improving attic insulation and ventilation to keep the roof surface cold, combined with installing a waterproof ice and water shield membrane along the eaves. This dual approach addresses the root cause and provides a critical barrier against water intrusion, specifically for our Pennsylvania winter conditions.

In our area, spring leaks often point to underlying winter damage, like compromised shingles or failed flashing from ice expansion. While a temporary patch might stop water, we perform a thorough inspection to identify all affected areas—including decking and insulation you can't see. Our repair focuses on the complete system to ensure the leak doesn't return after the next freeze-thaw cycle.

Absolutely. Properly sized and sloped gutters, paired with extended downspouts, are crucial. They channel melting snow and rainwater safely away from your roof edge to prevent ice dams and away from your foundation to avoid basement moisture and soil erosion. We assess your home's specific drainage needs to install a system that protects both your roof and your home's structural integrity.
