Ice Dams questions in Ottawa
Is an active leak from an ice dam urgent?+
Yes. Water intrusion can continue behind roofing and finishes. Indicate that there is an active leak so the request can be prioritized appropriately.
Can an ice dam be removed without damaging shingles?+
Methods vary by roof and conditions. Qualified providers typically assess the roof material, ice location and safe removal method before work begins.
Can WinterHelp help with recurring ice dams?+
Yes. Your immediate request can be matched for removal, while a contractor may also discuss insulation, ventilation or drainage factors that contribute to recurrence.
