Roof Repair in Millcreek, UT
Canyon-mouth snow on top of some of the oldest attics in the valley. Millcreek is ice dam country.
Roof Repair in Millcreek, Utah
Millcreek sits at the mouth of its own canyon, and the upper part of the city measures more snow than almost anywhere else this close to the valley floor. Put that snow on a roof built in the 1960s, over an attic insulated to 1960s standards, and you get ice dams. That is the call we take here more than any other.
Roof Repair SLC covers all of Millcreek from Draper. We do ice dam removal and prevention, leak repair, wind and hail damage, replacement of worn-out 1960s and 70s roofs, and 24/7 emergency tarping. Free inspection with photos and a written estimate.
Weather That Damages Roofs in Millcreek
- March 29, 2023: 10.2 inches of snow fell in Upper Millcreek while Salt Lake City measured 7.5 in the same storm. The bench routinely takes 25 to 40 percent more snow than the valley floor.
- July 22, 2021 microburst: the costliest thunderstorm-wind event in the valley in a decade, with roof and sign damage in neighbouring Murray ($250,000) and a tree put through a roof in nearby Butlerville.
- June 12, 2017: a summer wind event that dropped a large branch onto a home in adjacent Holladay and cut power across the east side.
- Old roofs and older attics: median year built 1960 in ZIP 84109 and 1973 city-wide. Thin attic insulation is the root cause of most ice dams we remove here.
- Canyon wind: air draining out of Mill Creek Canyon hits the homes closest to the mouth first and hardest.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Millcreek get so many ice dams?
More snow than the valley floor and older attics. Heat escapes, melts the snow, the water refreezes at the cold eave and dams up. We remove it, repair the leak, and show you what the attic needs so it stops.
Can you remove an ice dam without damaging my shingles?
Yes. We never chip at ice with hammers or shovels. We melt or cut channels so the water can drain without breaking the shingle surface.
My roof is original to a 1965 house. Repair or replace?
If it has been replaced once and still has life, we repair. If it is brittle and shedding granules, replacement is the honest answer. You get photos either way.
How fast can you get to Millcreek?
About 18 minutes from Draper. Emergency requests are reviewed 24/7 and active leaks are usually tarped the same day.
