Roof Ice Dam Prevention

Our Comprehensive Prevention Strategies

We focus on identifying roof issues early, improving insulation and ventilation, and installing systems that prevent ice buildup. These steps work together to reduce the risk of ice dams and protect your property.

Professional Roof Inspections

We start with a thorough roof inspection to find areas where ice dams might form. Our trained team checks for missing or damaged shingles, clogged gutters, and spots where heat escapes from your building.

We use special tools to measure roof temperature and look inside the attic for moisture or insulation problems. Finding these issues early helps us recommend fixes before ice can build up and cause damage.

Inspections are more than a quick look. We document everything and explain what needs attention. This helps us create a targeted plan to protect your roof through the winter.

Insulation and Ventilation Improvements

Proper insulation slows heat loss from your building, which keeps your roof surface cooler. This prevents snow from melting unevenly and refreezing at the edges.

We add or upgrade insulation in your attic to reduce heat escape. We also improve ventilation to keep air flowing and remove warm, moist air that can cause ice to form.

Our team ensures vents are correctly placed and sized. This balanced system maintains a consistent roof temperature, which helps prevent ice dams from developing.

De-Icing Systems Installation

We install electric heat cables along critical roof areas like eaves and gutters. These cables melt snow and ice before they can build up into dams.

Our systems use thermostats and sensors to turn on only when needed, saving energy. They are installed discreetly to avoid ruining the roof’s appearance.

We customize the setup based on your roof's shape and climate. This helps keep drainage paths open and prevents ice from causing leaks or damage.

Our Custom Solutions for Different Commercial Roof Types

We design ice dam prevention methods based on the unique features of each commercial roof. Our approach targets the main causes of ice buildup and adapts to the building’s structure and use.

Flat Roof Ice Dam Challenges

Flat roofs often have drainage issues that cause water to pool and freeze. These roofs usually lack enough slope, which means melting snow can stay trapped and refreeze, leading to ice dams.

We focus on improving drainage and insulation for flat roofs. Our team inspects drains and installs heat cables where needed. We also enhance insulation under the roofing material to keep heat from escaping and melting snow unevenly.

Tailored Services for Industrial Buildings

Industrial roofs are large and may have equipment that traps snow, so we assess those areas carefully. Retail buildings often have more foot traffic on the roof and unique rooftop layouts. This affects how ice forms and what solutions work best.

We provide services like custom heat cable placement and targeted insulation upgrades. Our methods consider roof size, use, and rooftop equipment to prevent ice dams without disrupting business operations.
