Ice Dam Removal in Apopka, Florida

The roofs of Apopka face a climate that is among the toughest in the country. Apopka’s hot, humid summers bring powerful afternoon thunderstorms almost every day, and the lightning, wind, and rain hammer the roof flashings and the exposed nail heads. Ice Dam Removal in Apopka means work done to a standard that survives the Florida weather — not the minimum, but the right way the first time.

• 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 Apopka Roofs Need Ice Dam Removal

Ice dams are a rare event in Apopka, 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 Apopka 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.
