Walled Lake, MI – Water Damage from Snow Melt and Roof Ice Dams
Walled Lake winters bring picturesque snow—but also dangerous water damage as it melts. According to the IICRC, roof and attic issues from thawing ice are one of the top culprits in seasonal water intrusion.
💧 Where Winter Water Damage Strikes First in Walled Lake:
Under Roof Shingles (Ice Dams):
Heat escaping from the attic melts snow, which refreezes at the edge of the roof. Water backs up under shingles, soaking insulation and ceilings.
In Attic Insulation:
When water gets into the attic, cellulose and fiberglass insulation hold moisture for weeks, promoting mold growth and reducing energy efficiency.
Inside Exterior Walls:
Ice dams can force water between siding and sheathing, which then runs down inside the walls—leading to damage far below the source.
Behind Gutters and Fascia Boards:
Frozen and clogged gutters push water backward into the roof structure, often unnoticed until interior damage appears.
💧 Don’t let snow trickle into your home’s structure—ice now means water later. Be proactive.
