Shockingly, only 1 inch of snow is enough for an ice dam to form under the right conditions, and an ice dam only needs to be a max of 6 inches thick to start causing damage. As Connecticut homes can experience some intense winter weather, it is likely you have experienced an ice dam on your roof before. At Colonial Exteriors, our team has the knowledge and tools needed to be able to assess the damage done to your roof and make the necessary repairs before the situation gets worse. 

Most homeowners know that living in New England means icy winters and tons of snow. What's worse is that the ice will sometimes take months to melt completely and will usually grow more significantly before melting even begins. It is for this reason that not only should you check your roof prior to major snow and ice storms but also frequently during the winter months as well. It will be better for you to be safe than sorry later down the road when you must make costly repairs. Look out for the signs listed below which might mean you have an ice related issue on your roof.

If ice has created damages on your roof, it’s only a matter of time before those issues become far worse. The weight of ice on your roof will only grow, especially with snow and sleet added to it. This pressure on your roof from all of the ice build up will cause your roof to erode and will open up small cracks in which water can seep through and into your home. If you are a homeowner in Connecticut, it is incredibly important for you to remain vigilant and keep an eye on your roof during the cold months. When you spot a potential issue, our team at Colonial Exteriors will be there for you to melt your problems away.
