ICE DAMS: Continuing Annual Damage in East Hartford

AS the days get shorter in Hartford County and temperatures dip lower, precipitation, even the slightest amount, including heavy dewfall and fog, are contributing to consistent, continuing
damage on your roof called ICE DAM. Left unchecked, ICE DAMS will cause costly structural damage to the home you love. These damages can go unseen and/or unrecognized for a long time furthering damages, resulting in even more expensive repairs. 

When precipitation collects, cold temperatures cause  ice to form and the warm air rising from within the home melt the ice against the surface of the roof allowing resulting water to seep. Cold temps then refreeze the water and cause a build up of ice along an already weakened (usually asphalt shingle) barrier degregating the integrity of the roof. Over time the water seepage results in saturation of batted insulation that leads to formation of very unhealthy MOLD, Left unabated, mold will simultaneously cause structural damage to occur in the form of ROT, This rot will very quickly degredate the structural integrity of the largest investment you will ever make, YOUR HOME!
