We tackle ice dams by installing specialized heating cables in critical valleys and eaves, combined with improving attic ventilation and sealing air leaks. This approach addresses the root cause—heat escaping from your home and melting snow unevenly—to prevent the ice blockages that lead to leaks and interior damage common in our climate.

Absolutely. Proper roof insulation is crucial in Juneau to minimize heat loss, which directly contributes to ice dams and high heating costs. We assess your current insulation and recommend upgrades or additions using high-performance materials. This creates a more consistent thermal barrier, keeping your home warmer, reducing energy bills, and protecting your roof structure.

The best preparation is a professional inspection focusing on valleys, insulation, and ventilation. We'll check for vulnerable spots where ice dams typically form, ensure your insulation is adequate and evenly distributed, and verify that attic ventilation is sufficient to keep the roof deck cold. Addressing these areas before the heavy snow falls is key to a problem-free winter.
