Ice Dams

Ice Dams Removed Safely and Quickly

There is no way to guarantee that your structure will never experience ice dams, but proper insulation may prevent and lessen property damage. Ice dams can cause their fair share of damage to a structure, and they are dangerous as well. Our licensed contractors at Beneficial Insulation will find the problem areas, measure current insulation thickness and install modern insulation to fill any cracks, holes, or missing areas. We make sure all the air sealing leaks are properly addressed and make necessary improvements on ventilation and properly venting to the outside of the home kitchen and bath fans. Not only will our processes save you money by reducing the need for future home repairs and insulation replacements, but your monthly energy bill will also decrease as less heat leaks into the ceiling.

Ice Dams and Snow on Roof and Gutters — Rock County, WI — Beneficial Insulation

Prevent Leakages Today

Ice dams are caused by the roof deck heating up due to inadequate insulation in the attic, which means heat that should be staying inside escapes. They are formed along a roof’s edge, preventing melting snow from being able to drain off the roof. The dam forms, causing the water to get trapped behind the dam. This trapped water works its way under the roofing material until a leak occurs. The best way to prevent ice dams is to stop them from forming in the first place, and to do that, you need to identify where your home is leaking air and letting heat escape.
