Ice dams causing leaks along eaves and valleys
Why it happens here
North Fort Thomas winters regularly drop below freezing, and heat escaping through under-insulated attics melts snow on the upper roof. That water refreezes at the cold eaves, creating a dam that forces water under shingles and into the house.
Our approach
We install ice and water shield along all eaves and valleys during replacement, and we correct attic ventilation and air sealing issues that cause uneven melting. For existing dams, we remove them safely and apply heat cable in chronic problem areas.
