Ice Dam Repair in Arlington VA
Arlington Roofing provides ice dam repair in Arlington for homes affected by winter freeze-thaw cycles. Ice dams form when heat escaping from the attic melts snow on the upper roof, which then refreezes once it reaches the colder eaves.
This freeze-thaw pattern hits neighborhoods like Ballston and Clarendon hard every winter. After a bad ice storm, it’s common to find shingles in gutters, flashing peeled back at the edges, and water stains creeping down interior walls.
Why Attic Insulation Matters
Poor attic insulation is the real cause behind most ice dams, not just cold weather alone. Heat rising from a poorly insulated attic melts snow unevenly across the roof, and that meltwater refreezes right where it can do the most damage.
Icicles hanging from your gutters are usually the first visible warning sign. By the time you see them, water may already be backing up under your shingles.
Our Ice Dam Removal Approach
We remove ice dams carefully to avoid damaging shingles underneath, since forcing ice off the wrong way often causes more harm than the dam itself. After removal, we check the affected area for water intrusion that may have already started.
This connects with our water intrusion mitigation service, since ice dam damage and water intrusion often go hand in hand once melted snow finds a way inside.
