Our roofing professionals can help you prevent and address problematic ice damming this winter.
Here in the Collingwood, Ontario area, the colder months of the year bring their own set of challenges for home and business owners, with one of the most common being ice damming. Ice dams can cause serious damage to your roofing and home at large if they’re not properly handled, but thankfully, our team at Weldon Roofing is here to assist you. Allow us to be your partner in dealing with ice damming, and we’ll help you keep your roofing safe all winter long.
Ice damming occurs when heat escaping from your home causes snow on the roof to melt and run down the roof to the eaves, where it then refreezes due to the colder temperatures. This process creates a barrier of ice that builds on itself, preventing water from draining off the roof properly. That trapped water can make its way under shingles and into the interior of your home, causing all kinds of problems.
Our team can offer several services to help prevent and address ice damming issues. Proper insulation and ventilation, especially in the attic, can help prevent ice damming by keeping the heat where it should be—indoors. Gutter maintenance is also important since keeping the troughs and downspouts clear of clogs allows the runoff to drain properly. If there is heavy snow, we offer rooftop snow removal services that can stop ice damming before it has a chance to build up. As trained and experienced roofers, we know how to safely remove snow and ice without causing damage to your roofing.
Don’t let ice damming give you and your property the winter blues. Contact our team to learn more about how we can help you prevent ice dams and protect your roof and home this winter.
