Ice Dam Removal in Panama City, Florida

Ice Dam Removal in Panama City, Florida

Ice dams are a rare problem in Panama City. The Florida climate rarely brings the freezing temperatures that create the ice dams on the roof. But during the rare freeze events that roll through the state, the ice can form at the roof edge and trap the water behind it. Ice dam removal in Panama City means the fast steam removal that clears the ice and the water that is backing up behind it.

Signs Your Panama City Roof Needs Ice Dam Removal

• The icicles are hanging from the roof edge, but the gutters are frozen
• The water is dripping from the ceiling during the freeze event
• The ice is visible at the roof edge, with the water pooling behind it
• The attic is damp and the insulation is wet on the cold day
• The ice has formed on the roof overhang and the gutters are frozen solid

Why Panama City Roofs Need Ice Dam Removal

The rare freeze events are the cause. The Florida climate is warm, but the occasional cold front brings the freezing temperatures that ice the roof. The homes that are not built for the ice are the most vulnerable — the warm attic melts the snow on the upper roof, and the water freezes at the cold eaves.

The damage happens fast. The trapped water behind the ice dam backs up under the shingles and into the attic. The insulation, the drywall, and the framing get wet, and the mold follows. The fast removal of the ice dam is the only way to stop the water.
