Winter Ice Dam Prevention in Edmonton & Area

Ice dams form when rooftop snow melts, flows toward the eaves, and refreezes at the colder edge. The growing ridge traps water that can back up under shingles and leak into ceilings. A professional prevention program combines attic-air sealing, added insulation to reach R-50+, and rooftop heat-trace cables or steam removal when needed. These steps lower attic temperatures, let snow melt evenly, and keep water draining through the eavestrough instead of freezing at the roofline.

Ice Dam Problems Edmonton Homeowners Face

Seeing thick icicles, ceiling stains, or shingle edges lifting?

  • Meltwater refreezes at the eaves, forcing water under roofing felt

  • Wet insulation loses R-value and drives up heating costs

  • Repeated freeze–thaw cycles crack shingles and shorten roof life

  • Heavy ice bends gutters and tears fascia boards

Acting now protects framing, prevents drywall damage, and avoids mid-winter emergency repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Warm attic air melts snow; water runs to cold eaves and refreezes, forming a ridge that traps more meltwater.
