Vidmar Roofing - Colorado Springs's Professional Roofing Services

This is a common issue here. As snow accumulates and then melts, it can seep under shingles, especially if they are already compromised by age, poor installation, or previous weather damage. The freeze-thaw cycle can also create ice dams that force water back under the roofing materials. A professional inspection from a local roofer like Vidmar can pinpoint the exact entry point and underlying cause.

Look for signs like dark spots or bruises on your asphalt shingles where the granules have been knocked off, dents on metal fixtures or gutters, and cracked or split shingles. From the ground, it can be hard to assess the full extent. We recommend a free, professional inspection after any significant hail event in the Springs area to identify damage that could lead to leaks or reduce your roof's lifespan.

First, prioritize safety and minimize interior damage by placing a bucket under active drips and moving valuables. Then, document any visible damage with photos for insurance purposes. The most important step is to contact a local, reputable roofing contractor for a thorough assessment. They can provide a detailed report and guide you through the repair process and any necessary insurance claims, ensuring the fix is tailored to our local climate challenges.
