Ice Dam Removal in Beaumont, California

Ice dams are rare in Beaumont, but the elevation at the pass means the snow can fall and the north slopes can create the conditions. The few homes that see the problem need the right fix. Ice dam removal in Beaumont means the ventilation and the insulation work that stops the ice before it forms.

When Beaumont Homes See Ice Dams

• Snow that sticks on the north slopes — the shaded slopes hold the snow longest
• Cold snaps below freezing — the brief pass cold snaps can create the ice
• Poor attic ventilation — the heat loss melts the snow and creates the dam
• Roof edge overhangs — the cold overhang freezes the melted water

Why Ice Dams Form

The heat loss through the attic is the main cause. The warm air from the house rises into the attic and melts the snow on the roof. The melted water runs down to the cold roof edge and freezes, creating the dam. The backed-up water then finds its way under the shingles.

In Beaumont, the problem is rare because the snow does not stick long. But the elevation at the pass means the occasional snowfall can create the conditions on the north slopes.
