Ice Dam Problems Here In Michigan

If you have a ice dam problem and water leaking in your home or business you've come to the right place. Select Restoration has the technology needed to find the infiltration of water leaking into your home caused by the ice dam. Go to: Thermal Imaging. Ice dams can form dangerous icicles and cause water intrusion into homes and buildings everywhere. The ice dams form because melting snow and ice on a roof freeze when they reach the cold roof edge. The ice forms a barrier and melted water accumulates behind this ice dam. Pooled water behind the dam may leak into the building or residence, causing water damage, or ever climb over the ice-filled gutter, forming icicles. If you have water damage on the inside of your home from a ice dam go to our water damage page to find out more on drying out your home. Go to: Water Damage.

Ice Dam Solutions

In most situations properly ventilating the roof and ensuring adequate insulation in the attic areas will solve the ice back-up problems. MOST ICE DAM DAMAGE IS CAUSED BY IMPROPER VENTILATION AND INSULATION. Call today to get a free building inspection to see if your property is properly ventilated and insulated. Select Restoration can install a Heat Cable System which provides a continuous drain path for melted snow and ice from the roof to the gutter and out the downspout. Versatile, reliable and cost effective, these systems are the effective answer for roof and gutter de-icing applications. Select Restoration can install a heat cable system, to prevent further damage.

A Heat Cable System helps prevent the following:

* Interior Structural Damage - Ice dams on roof edges lead to water intrusion, Wet Drywall, Floors etc.
* Exterior Damage to Gutters - Frozen gutters are heavy, leading to distortion or breakage.
* Falling Icicles - Icicles pose a threat and a liability to people and property.
* Slippery Walkways - Overfilled gutters allow water to fall on the ground and refreeze

Heat Cables are  intended for the sole use of preventing ice dams from forming on inclined roofs with tab shingles, in gutters and downspouts. This roof de-icing cable is not intended for use as a snow melting system to clear roof of ice and snow. Select Restoration has emergency snow removal services 24/7.
