Ice Dam Removal in Maumelle, Arkansas

Ice storms are rare in the Arkansas climate, but when they hit, the roofs freeze and the damage follows the thaw. An ice dam along the eaves holds water behind it, and that water backs up under the shingles. Ice dam removal in Maumelle means breaking the cycle before the leak starts.

Signs of an Ice Dam in Maumelle

• Icicles hanging from the eaves — the classic sign of a dam
• Ice along the roof edge — the dam has formed where the roof meets the eave
• Water stains in the attic — the backed-up water is coming through
• Dripping from the ceiling — the leak has reached the interior
• Sagging gutters — the weight of the ice is pulling them down

Why Ice Dams Form in the Arkansas Climate

The temperature swings are the cause. The Arkansas winter brings warm days and freezing nights, and the snow or ice melts and refreezes at the eaves. The attic heat melts the snow on the upper roof while the eaves stay cold, and the dam forms at the line between the two.

The rare ice storms in the corridor make it worse. The ice builds up, and when the thaw comes, the water has nowhere to go but under the shingles.
