Ice Dam Removal & Prevention in Tiverton, RI
In Tiverton, a gutter stuffed with frozen leaves or a drafty older attic is all an ice dam needs, and the water it holds back ends up in ceilings, walls and window frames.

Tiverton, Rhode Island
We keep Tiverton ice dams from rotting fascia and staining your ceilings
Tiverton's houses vary a lot from one end of town to the other, and so do their ice dam problems. In North Tiverton, older homes sit close together on small lots, many with attics that were never insulated to today's standards. Heat escapes through the roof, melts snow from below, and the water freezes when it reaches the overhang. When a dam forms there, ice and water often drop onto a narrow side yard or a neighbor's driveway.
South of Stone Bridge, the town opens into farms, stone walls and wooded lots around Tiverton Four Corners. Here the issue is shade and leaves. Roofs under oaks and maples stay cold and snowy longer, and gutters that were not cleaned after the late leaf drop freeze into solid troughs. Along the Sakonnet, from Nanaquaket to Fogland, wind off the river drifts snow onto the sheltered side of the roof, and repeated thaws keep feeding water to the edge.
If you have an ice dam now, we remove it by hand. We cut channels through the ice so the trapped water drains off the roof and out through the gutters, working carefully so the shingles and gutters are not damaged. If the ice has already pulled a gutter loose or soaked the fascia, we can repair that once the weather allows. A photo through the form or a call to (401) 274-3030 is the quickest start, and we reply the same business day.
Call (401) 274-3030Why ice dams form on Tiverton homes
Older homes in North Tiverton
Close-set older houses near the Fall River line often have little attic insulation and air leaks around chimneys and attic hatches. That lost heat warms the roof deck and melts snow from below, and the meltwater freezes at the cold eaves.
Leaf-packed gutters near the woods
Wooded lots around Tiverton Four Corners and farther south collect oak leaves well into November. If those leaves are still in the gutter when the cold sets in, they freeze into a dam of their own and block meltwater from draining.
Snow drifting off the Sakonnet
Homes along the river, from Stone Bridge to Fogland, take wind straight off the water. It strips snow from one side of the roof and piles it on the other, often against chimneys and in valleys, and those deep drifts keep feeding meltwater to the eaves.
Repeated thaws all winter
Tiverton winters swing above and below freezing over and over. Every sunny afternoon sends a little more water to the gutter, and every cold night freezes it, so a dam grows thicker across a week of mild days.
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.
Getting your Tiverton home ready for ice dam season
Start with a late-fall gutter cleaning after the oaks are bare so meltwater can leave the roof, and that cleaning includes the downspouts, done by hand. On north-facing roofs under trees, and on eaves that iced up last winter, roof and gutter heat cables keep a channel open. If leaves keep refilling your gutters, Proflow aluminum or All Mesh Pro stainless mesh guards help them stay clear. In older North Tiverton homes, the lasting fix is usually attic insulation and air sealing; that is not work we do, so ask an insulation contractor. A roof rake for the first few feet of snow above the eaves helps too.

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
How do you remove ice dams in Tiverton?
By hand, with care. We cut channels through the ice dam so the water trapped behind it can drain off the roof and out of the gutters. We do not pound the dam loose, since that cracks shingles and bends gutters. Call (401) 274-3030 or send a photo through the form to get started.
My gutters pulled away from the house under the ice. Can you fix them?
Yes. Ice is heavy, and a gutter full of it can bend hangers and tear away from the fascia. Once the ice is cleared, we can rehang or replace the gutters and repair damaged fascia. Seamless aluminum gutters with hidden hangers hold up better under a winter load than old spiked gutters.
Do heat cables make sense on a shaded Tiverton roof?
Often, yes. Shaded roofs hold snow longer, so the eaves can stay icy for weeks. Roof and gutter heat cables keep a path open for meltwater on those sections. They work best with clean gutters, so plan on a fall cleaning as well.
Do you handle ice dams in Nanaquaket and Fogland?
Yes. We work all over Tiverton, including Nanaquaket, Fogland, Stone Bridge, North Tiverton and Tiverton Four Corners. Send a photo of the ice and gutters through the form or call (401) 274-3030. Replies come the same business day, and every estimate is free.
