Emergency Ice Dam Removal & Leak Prevention in WNY

Across Western New York, heavy lake-effect snow combined with freeze-thaw cycles creates perfect conditions for ice dams. Here's what happens:

• Warm air escapes from your attic, melting snow on the upper roof.
• Melted water runs down to the colder eaves and refreezes, forming a solid ice barrier (the "dam").
• More snow melts behind the dam → water backs up under shingles → leaks into your attic, ceilings, walls, and insulation.

Common signs you've got an ice dam in WNY:

• Icicles longer than 10 inches hanging from gutters
• Water stains or dripping on interior ceilings
• Ice buildup along roof edges or in gutters
• Snow melting unevenly on the roof (clear upper roof, ice at edges)

Left unchecked, ice dams cause:

1. Mold growth from soaked insulation
2. Wood rot in rafters and sheathing
3. Ruined drywall, flooring, and personal belongings
4. Thousands in repair bills – far more than professional removal
