With the recent snow in the Greater Boston area, The Roof Kings would like to take this opportunity to review the potential damage that ice dams can cause to your roof.
Ice dams form when the heat from your home starts to melt the snow on the roof, which then refreezes at the exposed edge and collects in the gutter. The trapped ice/water can then back up under your shingles, causing leaks and water damage. This in turn can rot shingles, weaken underlying roof structures, cause mold growth, and bend or even rip off gutters. The heavy weight of these ice dams also provide a significant danger to people and property beneath them if they should detach and fall.
Our emergency snow removal and property deicing services are available 24/7. Ensure the safety of your commercial or residential roof after any major weather event by calling us at (855) 210-ROOF (7663) or visiting theroofkings.com.
