SMART Restoration Services – Heavy Snow Fall Totals in Chicago Suburbs – Do You Have Ice Dams or Storm Damage?

As snow accumulates on the rooftop, it melts over the warmer portion of the attic and the melt water runs down the roof. When it encounters the cold edge of the roof it refreezes. The refrozen water along the roof edge creates an “ice dam” and consequently, the melted snow running down the roof begins to back up underneath the roof covering. This water will soak the roof sheathing and leak into the attic unless there is a barrier above the sheathing. Sealing the roof deck is an effective way to prevent the water from entering your home and causing damage.

Across Illinois, 2-day snow fall totals (seen below) could lead to significant ice dam problems, and water damage. If you see water or storm damage, please call SMART Restoration Services at 847.577.2900.
