We keep Foxborough's ice dams from turning roof snow into water stains
Foxborough gets real winter. Inland from the coast, with plenty of woods around it, the town tends to hold snow on its roofs after a storm instead of seeing it wash away in a quick thaw. That gives ice dams time to grow. Warm air leaking into the attic melts the snow from below, the water slides down to the overhang, and it freezes there into a ridge of ice that keeps getting thicker as the days go by.
The older houses around the town common are often the first to leak, with steep roofs, dormers and attics that were never insulated well. Many neighborhoods also have low-slope porch roofs and additions where snow and ice from the main roof land and stay. Condominium buildings have their own trouble spots along long eaves and where roof sections meet. When water gets trapped, we cut channels through the dam by hand so it can drain, keeping shingles and gutters undamaged.
After removal, we help you stop the repeat. Heat cables along problem eaves and in the gutters keep meltwater moving. A late-fall gutter cleaning clears out the oak leaves, and Proflow or All Mesh Pro guards keep the gutters open all winter. Homeowners, condo associations and business owners can call (508) 399-7600 or send a photo through the form for a free estimate, with a reply the same business day.
Call (508) 399-7600Why ice dams form on Foxborough homes
Steep roofs and dormers near the common
Older homes on the streets around the Foxborough common often have steep roofs, dormers and little insulation. Heat escapes into the attic and up into the roof, and the joints around dormers are where meltwater tends to collect and back up.
Low porch and addition roofs
A low-slope porch or addition roof catches the snow and ice that slide off the main roof, and water moves across it slowly. That makes it a frequent spot for a dam, and leaks show up in porch ceilings and the wall above.
Long eaves on condo buildings
Condominium buildings often have long, continuous eaves and several roof sections joining together. A dam along one stretch can back water toward more than one unit, so it pays to clear it before the leak spreads.
Woods that keep roofs cold
Neighborhoods near F. Gilbert Hills State Forest and other wooded parts of town have roofs shaded by oaks and pines. Shaded snow lasts longer, which means more days of melting and refreezing at the eaves.
How we handle ice dams
Careful work by hand, then a plan so they don't come back.
Channels cut by hand
We carefully cut channels through the ice dam so the water trapped behind it can drain off the roof and out through the gutters, without tearing into the shingles.
Heat cables
Roof-edge and gutter heat cables keep a path open for meltwater in the spots that ice up every winter.

Packed gutters hold water that freezes solid. A fall gutter cleaning, or gutter guards, lets meltwater drain.
Ending the ice dam cycle on Foxborough homes
The fix depends on where your dams form. For a porch roof or the eave over a cape's upstairs rooms, roof and gutter heat cables keep a clear channel all winter. For every roof, empty gutters matter: have them cleaned after the oaks finish in late fall, and add gutter guards so leaves cannot refill them before the snow. Condo associations can schedule a fall cleaning for every building at once. Better attic insulation and air sealing also cut the heat that melts roof snow. That is not work we do, but it is the long-term answer for older homes near the common.

One section of my gutter system had a hole in it. Mr. Gutter had great reviews, so I called them. They were very quick to respond, I sent a photo, and within minutes they gave me a reasonable quote to replace it. It was just replaced, they were very pleasant, would definitely use them again, highly recommend!

Easy to schedule. They came out within a few days and did a great job. I can tell because the nor'easter hit us two days later!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle ice dams on condominium buildings in Foxborough?
Yes. We remove ice dams and install heat cables on condo buildings and commercial properties as well as single-family homes. We cut channels through the ice by hand so the water drains without damaging the roof. Property managers and associations can call (508) 399-7600 for a free estimate.
Water is dripping from my porch ceiling. Is that an ice dam?
It often is. Low porch roofs collect snow and ice from the main roof, and when a dam forms at the edge, water backs up under the shingles and drips through the porch ceiling. We clear the dam by hand and can add heat cables so it does not happen every winter.
Does a fall gutter cleaning help prevent ice dams in Foxborough?
Yes. Oaks drop their leaves late, so many Foxborough gutters are still full when the first snow comes. Wet leaves freeze solid and leave no room for meltwater. A late-fall cleaning, ideally with gutter guards afterward, gives water a path off the roof all season.
