Lifetime Quality provides professional ice damage roof restoration for residential and commercial roofing systems. We start with a complimentary inspection to assess the condition of your roof and provide you with a detailed report of any potential damage.
Our team can also assist you with the insurance claims process if you need to file a claim for your roofing damage. Ice damage from severe winter weather may be covered under your insurance policy.
If we need to wait for insurance approval before repairing your roof, our roofing technicians can provide emergency tarping services in the meantime to prevent further damage or leaks. We can also clear gutters and roof edges impacted by ice dams and remove snow or ice that could structurally damage your roof.
Winter storms and freezing temperatures have the potential to impact your roofing system through ice damage. Signs your roof has ice damage include:
Ice can cause both asphalt-based roofs and single-ply membranes to crack, buckle, or tear, especially with repeated damage over time.
Water stains on your ceiling or walls could indicate that the surface of your roof has been damaged and melting ice has made its way through the layers of material.
If you notice water dripping or leaking inside your home or business, especially during or after a period of heavy snow or ice, it could be a sign that your roof is compromised.
These are ridges of ice that form near the edge of roofs and happen when snow melts on the top of the roof but then refreezes at the edge. Ice dams are dangerous because they can block water flow from your roof to your gutters, leading to spilling water on sidewalks that can refreeze and cause safety hazards. Ice dams can also lead to roofing damage and leaks.
Large icicles hanging from the roofline could indicate ice dams or poor insulation, which can lead to the melting and refreezing that causes them.
A roof that appears to be sagging or bowing could be caused by the weight of ice and snow accumulation, which can result in structural damage.
Our experienced roofers provide preventative maintenance to reduce the impact of future ice damage to your roof. Although it’s impossible to completely prevent damage, we can ensure your roof is in excellent shape to reduce the chances of problems.
Ice damage can typically be prevented through proper roofing insulation, ventilation, and regular maintenance. When your roof is properly insulated, snow melts evenly over the roofing system, preventing refreezing at the edges and subsequent ice dams.
You can also prevent ice damage by ensuring your roofing material is in good shape before the colder seasons. High-quality shingles or flat roofing materials that are properly installed and maintained will be more resistant to cracking and blistering from ice damage than those that aren’t.
