Ice Dam on Roof in Southern Utah

When you hear the term ice dam in southern Utah you probably are thinking a distant stream high in the mountains, however ice dams can occur on the roof of your home or business. Ice dams are caused from ice and snow that melts off the top part of your home and travels to the edge or gutters, where it freezes again. This results in a buildup of ice on the edge of your roof that can damage gutter systems and eaves, seep through roof shingles and cause havoc to your home’s framework and interior drywall. For protection against ice dams, contact HiCaliber today at (435) 674-9338 or visit us online at http://www.hicaliber.biz. HiCaliber will come and inspect your roof for problems that could result in ice dams such as poor attic insulation and ventilation while repairing current damage that would make ice dams more probable.
