With the winter temperatures dropping and snow piling up, ice forming on the roof of your home or business becomes a very large concern. Though it will eventually melt, an ice dam that sits too long can leak into the building itself and cause serious water damage to both your roof structure and walls. To learn more about avoiding this property disaster, contact FloodCo in Columbia Falls, MT. If an ice dam problem forms, it is important to repair it immediately and dry out your structure before additional damage occurs. Recurring ice dams and wet building materials will cause very expensive structural damage to a home or business.

Usually developing with icicles, ice dams are formed when the warmer upper roof causes water to run down to the lower roof and gutters where it can refreeze. If the outside temperatures remain below freezing for a number of days or weeks, the ice dam continues to grow and will cause water to back up through the roof surface and leak through the sheathing and inside the structure. Wet lumber and insulation can develop mold and rot that damages the structure of your home.
