Ice Dams

Ice dams can be very damaging to your home. To learn more about how and why ice dams form, and how to prevent them, download our Home Tip Series “Ice Dams” brochure.

Thanks for the prompt response to our request for an inspection to determine the cause of the ice dams in one of our homes, and the amazingly quick delivery of the inspection report. I enjoyed meeting with you and compliment you on your thoroughness and professionalism during the inspection.

I feel confident that you identified the factors contributing to the ice dams and by following your recommendations will be able to go through the winter without repeat of water damage to our home.
