Ice Dams Are Wisconsin's Most Expensive Winter Problem
You have seen the icicles hanging from your eaves. They look pretty. But behind those icicles, a wall of ice is building on your roof edge, trapping water with nowhere to go.
That water backs up under your shingles. It soaks into your roof deck. It runs down your walls. By the time you see the stain on your ceiling, the damage is already thousands of dollars deep.
Ice dams are preventable. With the right combination of heat cables, insulation, and ventilation, you can eliminate them entirely.
Our Ice Dam Solutions
Heat Cables
Self-regulating heat cables installed along eaves, valleys, and gutters keep ice from forming in the first place. They use energy only when temperatures drop, and they run automatically.
- Self-regulating (energy efficient)
- Installed along eaves and valleys
- Prevents ice at the source
Insulation Assessment
Heat escaping through your attic is the root cause of ice dams. We inspect your attic insulation and identify gaps where warm air is melting snow on your roof from below.
- Find heat loss areas
- Reduces heating bills
- Addresses root cause
Gutter De-Icing
Heat cable loops run through your gutters and downspouts, keeping channels open for meltwater drainage even in the coldest stretches of winter.
- Keeps gutters flowing in winter
- Prevents downspout freezing
- Works with gutter guards
Prevention Costs Hundreds. Repair Costs Thousands.
Heat cable installation typically runs $500-$1,500 depending on your roofline. A single ice dam repair -- including water damage, drywall replacement, mold remediation, and new insulation -- averages $5,000-$20,000.
The math is not complicated. Prevent it now or pay for it later.
