Ice Dam Removal in Riviera Beach, Florida

Ice Dam Removal in Riviera Beach means roofing built for the Florida climate - the heat, the humidity, and the storms. The salt air off the coast corrodes the flashing and the fasteners, and the storms test every roof.

Signs Your Riviera Beach Roof Needs Ice Dam Removal

• Icicles hanging from the eaves - the first sign of the ice buildup
• Water stains on the interior ceiling - the ice has backed up under the shingles
• Frost on the roof deck in the attic - the attic heat loss is melting the snow
• Ice at the edge of the roof - the water refroze at the cold eave
• Leaks during the freeze-thaw cycle - the meltwater found a gap

Why Riviera Beach Roofs Need Ice Dam Removal

The rare freeze is the main cause. The occasional cold snap in Florida brings the freeze-thaw cycle that can form the ice.

The attic heat loss is the second cause. The warm air from the house rises into the attic and melts the frost on the roof deck.

How We Do Ice Dam Removal in Riviera Beach

1. Inspect the ice buildup - find the extent and the location of the dam
2. Steam the ice - the steam melts the ice without the damage to the shingles
3. Remove the debris - clear the gutters and the downspouts
4. Check the attic - find the heat loss source and the ventilation issues

Preventing Problems in Riviera Beach

• Seal the attic air leaks - the warm air from the house is the main cause
• Improve the attic ventilation - the cold air in the attic keeps the roof deck cold
• Install the heat cables at the eaves - the cables melt the ice before it forms
• Insulate the attic floor - the insulation keeps the heat in the house

Ice dams are rare in Riviera Beach, but the occasional freeze event can form them. The right attic ventilation and the insulation are the best prevention when the rare cold snap hits.
