Ice Dam Removal & Prevention in Kansas City

What this is and why it matters in KC

Ice dams form when attic heat melts roof snow, which refreezes at the cold eave. Water backs UP under the shingles, into your ceiling, walls, and insulation. KC's freeze-thaw cycles in January and February make this a yearly problem for many homes.

Long-term fix: better attic insulation + ventilation. Short-term: clear gutters before winter so meltwater has somewhere to go, and consider heat cables.

Signs you need this service

• Icicles 12"+ long on the gutter
• Ice backed up onto the roof surface (visible from ground)
• Water stains on ceilings or interior walls during winter
• Damp insulation in attic during cold snaps
• Ice forming inside the gutter (not just hanging from it)
