Ice Dam Repair in Pittsburgh homes
Pittsburgh's freeze-thaw winters are prime ice dam country. Snow melts on a warm roof, runs to the cold edge, and refreezes into a wall of ice that backs water up under the shingles and into the house. The cause is usually a warm attic from poor ventilation and air leaks. We remove the dam safely, often with steam, stop the water, and give you a plan to fix the cause so it does not come back.
Why choose us
Water-first dispatch
We stop the water before we talk about anything else. A tarp or a leak stop protects your home and your belongings while we plan the permanent repair. The first call is about keeping you dry, not about selling you a new roof.
Insurance-ready photo documentation
We photograph the damage, the cause, and what we did, and we hand you a clear summary. Your adjuster gets what they need to make a decision. Coverage is always your carrier's decision, but our photos support your claim.
Honest repair-vs-replace calls
If a repair will hold, we say so. If the roof is at the end of its life or the damage is too widespread, we say replacement makes sense. We give you the real answer and a price for both. The decision is always yours.
