Franciscus Roofing

At Franciscus Incorporated, we understand the challenges that winter brings, especially the issue of ice damming on your roof. Ice dams are a common problem for homes in cold climates, particularly on low sloping roofs like those on ranch houses. These dams can cause significant damage if not addressed promptly, but our team is equipped with the knowledge and tools to combat this winter dilemma effectively.

Understanding Ice Damming:

• Nature’s Challenge: Ice damming occurs when melting snow refreezes at the edge of your roof, preventing water from draining properly. This can lead to water backing up under the shingles, causing leaks and damage to your home.
• Proactive Measures: Our service includes cutting channels in the ice dam to allow water to flow off the roof, preventing it from entering your home. This is a crucial step in mitigating the damage ice dams can cause.
• Understanding the Cause: The root cause of ice damming is often heating loss from the attic, causing snow on the roof to melt and refreeze at the edges. Addressing insulation and ventilation issues in the attic can help prevent ice dams from forming in the first place.

Don’t let ice dams compromise the integrity of your roof this winter. Contact Franciscus Incorporated at the first sign of ice buildup. Our prompt and efficient ice dam removal service ensures your roof remains water-free, protecting your home from potential damage.
