    As the snow starts to fall and temperatures drop, don't let those beautiful icicles distract from the dangers of ice dams on your roof. The best way to take care of ice dams is to prevent them in the first place.Here are a couple of ways to prevent ice dams from forming:• Rake off the snow - Standing far enough back from the roof, use a rake to remove the snow.• Keep your gutters clean - Water has difficulty turning into ice if it flows off the gutter onto the ground.• Reach out to the professionals - Don't go on your roof in the winter; leave it to the professionals at Ridgeworth Roofing to prevent ice dams from damaging your building.This winter, stay safe and keep off your roof. One small slip could cause serious injury, and even the smallest amount of moisture can make your roof deceptively dangerous. https://lnkd.in/d_8Y7VST#CommercialRoofing #WinterRoofing #RoofMaintenance #CommercialRoofers #ChicagoRoofing

    Winter is a season of beauty and challenges alike. For homeowners, one of the most common winter hazards is the formation of ice dams on rooftops. These ice formations can lead to extensive damage to your home if not addressed correctly and in a timely manner. However, with a strategic combination of ice dam removal, gutter cleaning, and roof cleaning, you can shield your home from potential winter damages.Ice dams result from a complex interplay of snow, heat, and cold. Snow on your heated roof melts, then trickles down and refreezes at the colder roof edge, forming a dam. This dam traps water, which can eventually seep through the roofing material into the home, leading to water damage and possible structural issues.Professional ice dam removal services are the optimal solution for tackling this problem. Specialized in dealing with these winter hazards, they use advanced tools to eliminate ice dams without inflicting damage on your roof.Property Refresh Power Washing and Gutter Cleaninghttps://lnkd.in/g5wKJ8H6#icedamremoval #icedam #propertyrefresh #frozengutters #rooficeremoval

    The most common causes of roof leaks include:1. Missing or damaged shingles: Shingles that are cracked, loose, or missing can allow water to penetrate the roof.2. Damaged flashing: Flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights can deteriorate over time, leading to leaks.3. Clogged gutters: When gutters are clogged, water can back up under the roofline and cause leaks.4. Improper installation: Poorly installed roofing materials or flashing can lead to leaks.5. Age: As roofs age, they become more susceptible to leaks due to wear and tear.6. Hail or storm damage: Severe weather can cause damage to the roof, leading to leaks.7. Ice dams: In cold climates, ice dams can form on the roof, forcing water under the shingles and causing leaks.8. Tree damage: Falling branches or debris from trees can damage the roof and create openings for water to enter.9. Poor ventilation: Inadequate ventilation in the attic can lead to moisture buildup, which can cause leaks.10. Skylights: Improperly installed or damaged skylights can be a common source of roof leaks.📞 251-550-ROOF (7663)📧 info@roofernearme.co🌐https://roofernearme.co/#RooferNearMe #RoofingServices #HomeImprovement

    Ice dams played a substantial role in damaging roofs during the last winter event in the Midsouth.🧊What is an ice dam? 🦫Ice dams are ridges of ice that form at the roof's edge and prevent melting snow from draining off. When snow on the roof melts, it can refreeze at the eaves, creating a barrier. This ice buildup can lead to water backing up under the shingles and cause damage to the roof, insulation, and interior of the house.Check out this great article from PURE Insurance that further explains ice dams and how to prevent damage to your home. https://ow.ly/yYjt50QpKSZ#roofingcontractor #roofleak #roofdamage #memphisroofing #memphisroofer
