Ice Damming Repair & Heating Services
24/7 Ice Damming Repair & Removal
During Michigan’s harsh winters, ice dams can be a hidden threat to your roof and attic, potentially causing significant damage to your home if not dealt with promptly. My Dry Team Restoration offers comprehensive ice dam removal and prevention services to protect your property and prevent costly repairs.
What Are Ice Dams and Why Are They a Concern?
Ice dams form when heat escapes from a home’s attic, melting the snow on the roof. As the melted snow runs down and reaches the colder roof edges, it refreezes, creating a barrier of ice along the gutters. This prevents proper drainage, causing water to back up under shingles and seep into the roof deck. The trapped water can result in:
- Roof leaks that damage ceilings and walls
- Saturated insulation, reducing energy efficiency
- Wood rot in rafters and attic structures
- Mold and mildew growth, leading to indoor air quality issues
If left untreated, ice dams can cause significant damage to the roof and interior of your home, leading to expensive repairs.
Ice Dam Removal & Prevention Services
Our team provides professional and effective ice dam removal services to restore your home and prevent further damage. The services we offer include:
Safe Steam Removal of Ice Dams
We use safe and efficient steam methods to remove ice dams from your roof. This method clears blockages without harming shingles or gutters, preventing further damage to your roofing system.
Attic Insulation Upgrades
Insufficient attic insulation is one of the primary causes of ice dam formation. We provide attic insulation upgrades to reduce heat loss, ensuring that your attic remains cold enough to prevent the snow on your roof from melting and refreezing at the edges.
Roof Ventilation Improvements
Proper roof ventilation helps regulate airflow in the attic, ensuring that heat doesn’t escape and cause melting snow to refreeze. We improve your roof’s ventilation system to prevent uneven roof temperatures and stop snow from melting and refreezing.
Gutter Cleaning & Maintenance
Clogged gutters can contribute to ice dam formation by blocking the flow of water. Our team offers gutter cleaning and maintenance to keep drainage systems clear and prevent water buildup. This helps reduce the chances of ice dams forming in the first place.
