This is a very common issue here. During winter, snow accumulates and ice can form on your roof. As it melts, water can seep into small, existing vulnerabilities like cracked flashing or worn shingles that were previously frozen shut. Our team specializes in tracing these leaks to their source and performing durable repairs that hold up to our freeze-thaw cycles.

An ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at your roof's edge, preventing melting snow from draining off. This trapped water can then back up under your shingles, leading to leaks, damaged insulation, and even interior water damage. We help by safely removing dams, assessing the damage, and improving attic ventilation and insulation—key preventative measures for Pennsylvania winters.

From the ground, keep an eye out for large icicles hanging from your eaves, which can indicate dam formation. Also, look for stains or streaks on your siding, sagging gutters, or missing or curled shingles, especially after a winter storm. If you see any signs, it's wise to call us for a professional inspection to prevent minor issues from becoming major repairs.
