Call (351) 444-1601Note 01What can I put on my roof to prevent ice dams?
Nothing applied on top fixes the cause. An ice dam forms when heat from the house melts snow that refreezes at the cold eaves, so the lasting fixes are underneath: ice barrier membrane at the eaves when the roof is redone, and attic insulation and ventilation that keep the roof deck cold.
Note 02Are roofers responsible for ice damming?
A roofer does not cause the ice, but the roof's eaves detail is what decides whether the backed-up water gets in. If a roof was replaced without ice barrier membrane at the eaves, that is worth raising with whoever did it, and worth asking about on any new quote.
Note 03Why does my roof only leak in heavy rain?
Because the water is getting in somewhere that only floods in a downpour or wind-driven rain: a valley that overflows, flashing that lets water in sideways, or a pipe boot that only leaks when water backs up against it. Note the wind direction when it happens; it narrows the search.
