Ice Dam Removal & Snow Damage Repair
Ice dams push water under your shingles. We remove them safely, repair the damage, and fix the cause.
Ice Dam & Snow Damage in Salt Lake City
Utah winters build ice dams. Heat escaping from the attic melts snow on the roof, the water runs down to the cold eaves, and it refreezes into a ridge of ice. Water backs up behind that ridge and gets pushed under the shingles and into your home.
Roof Repair SLC removes ice dams without chiseling up your shingles, repairs the leaks and damage they caused, and then addresses the real problem: attic insulation, ventilation, and air sealing. That is how you stop the dam from coming back next winter.

- A thick ridge of ice along the roof edge or in the gutters

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I remove an ice dam myself?
Please do not hack at it with a hammer or shovel. That destroys shingles. Roof rakes can help with snow, but ice removal is best left to a roofer.
Why does my roof get ice dams and my neighbor's does not?
Almost always attic heat loss. Poor insulation or ventilation warms your roof deck, melts the snow, and starts the cycle.
Will insurance cover ice dam damage?
Often the interior water damage is covered. Removal and prevention usually are not. Our report helps you sort it out with your insurer.
