Ice Dam Removal in Altamonte Springs, Florida

The roofs of Altamonte Springs face a climate that is among the toughest in the country. The hot, humid Central Florida summers bring near-daily afternoon thunderstorms from June through September, and each one tests the flashing, the valleys, and the seals around every penetration. Ice Dam Removal in Altamonte Springs means work done to a standard that survives the Florida weather — not the minimum, but the right way the first time.

Local Roofing Considerations in Altamonte Springs

The humidity feeds the algae and moss that streak the north-facing slopes of Altamonte Springs roofs, holding moisture against the granules and shortening the life of the shingles.

The intense summer sun bakes the shingles all afternoon, drying out the asphalt and shedding the granules long before the roof’s rated life is up.

an occasional hard freeze in January can crack older tiles and stress the seals

Signs Your Altamonte Springs Roof Needs Ice Dam Removal

• Large icicles at the eaves
• Ice building up along the gutter line
• Water stains on the ceiling near the exterior walls
• Snow melting unevenly across the roof
• Cold drafts and ice in the attic

Why Altamonte Springs Roofs Need Ice Dam Removal

Ice dams are a rare event in Altamonte Springs, but the rare freeze can still produce them. When the heat from the attic melts the snow at the ridge and the water refreezes at the cold eaves, the dam forms and the meltwater backs up under the shingles.

The damage from an ice dam in Altamonte Springs is the same as it is anywhere — the water seeps under the shingles and into the walls. The removal has to be done without chipping the roof, and the prevention is the attic air sealing and the venting.
