Frost in your Streator attic is a serious sign of poor roof ventilation and excessive moisture buildup, often leading to mold, wood rot, and ice dams. Warm, moist air from your home rises and condenses on the cold roof sheathing. We perform a comprehensive attic assessment to evaluate your ventilation system, insulation, and any air leaks, then provide solutions like installing proper soffit and ridge vents to protect your home's structure.

A leaking skylight in Streator is often due to failed flashing or sealant around the unit, which can frequently be repaired. Our first step is a precise leak detection to identify the exact failure point. In many cases, resealing or re-flashing the skylight resolves the issue. However, if the skylight itself is cracked or the frame is compromised, we'll recommend a replacement with a modern, energy-efficient model designed to withstand our local weather and prevent future leaks.

Preventing ice dams, a common Streator winter problem, requires a two-part approach: proper attic insulation and balanced roof ventilation. Insulation keeps heat from escaping into the attic, while ventilation allows cold air to flow, keeping the roof deck uniformly cold. We specialize in correcting these systems by assessing your current setup, adding insulation where needed, and ensuring your intake (soffit) and exhaust (ridge) vents are clear and functioning together to stop ice dams before they form and cause water damage.
