Freeze-thaw cycles can allow ice to build near roof edges and water to back up beneath roofing materials. Cheshire Roofing can inspect damage related to winter moisture, roofing details and ventilation conditions.
Ice dams are a system problem
Roof-edge ice can involve heat loss, attic ventilation, insulation conditions, snow cover and outdoor temperature—not just the shingles themselves.
Watch for interior warning signs
Ceiling stains, damp insulation, water near exterior walls and repeated winter leaks can justify a roof and attic assessment.
Protect vulnerable areas
Ice and water membrane at eaves and other critical areas is an important layer of protection during roof replacement.
