Ice Dam Removal & Prevention in Millville, MA

We stop Millville ice dams before meltwater gets into your walls

In Millville, most houses sit close to the road with the woods starting right behind the back yard. Those woods are mostly oaks and white pines, and the pines keep their needles all winter. A roof in their shade may get little direct sun from December into March, so snow lingers for weeks. Every milder afternoon melts a little of it, every cold night freezes that water at the eaves, and the ridge of ice grows a little higher each time.

Once the ridge is high enough, water pools behind it and works under the shingles. In Millville's older homes, it often shows up first as a brown stain on an upstairs ceiling or a damp spot around a window. We fix the backup by hand, cutting channels through the ice so the water has a way off the roof. It is slow, careful work that keeps the shingles and gutters intact, and it gets the leak under control without waiting for a thaw.

We answer Millville calls the same business day, and a photo of the roof often tells us a lot before we arrive. For homes that dam up every winter, we install roof and gutter heat cables. We also recommend a late-fall gutter cleaning and gutter guards, so pine needles cannot pack the gutter and freeze into it. Call (508) 399-7600 or send the form with a photo for a free estimate.
