Ice dams form when warm attic air melts roof snow that refreezes at the eaves — the resulting ice ridge backs water up under shingles and into your home. Atlas Roofing removes ice dams safely throughout Orange in winter, addresses the immediate water threat, then helps you fix the underlying ventilation or insulation issue so it doesn't happen again next year.
Orange Village homes are mostly Colonials and Tudors on wooded lots, now hitting their second roof cycle.
Don't try. Chipping at ice damages shingles, throwing salt damages plants and can corrode metal flashings, and being on a snow-covered ladder is genuinely dangerous. Call us — we use steam systems that safely remove the ice without damaging the roof.
Heat escaping from the living space melts snow on the upper roof. The melted water flows down to the colder eaves (which extend past the heated area) and refreezes. Long-term fix is better attic insulation and ventilation.
Damage from ice dams (interior water damage, ruined drywall) is typically covered. The cost of removing the ice dam itself is usually not. We document everything for your claim.
