Ice Dam & Roof Leak Damage Castle Rock, CO
Snow melts over the warm roof and refreezes at the eave. The ridge of ice holds water back until it finds its way inside. Water held behind an ice dam enters slowly and keeps entering for as long as the snow and the ridge of ice remain. Ceilings and upper wall cavities near the eaves are opened where it collected, and wet insulation in the affected bays is removed.

Often needed alongside
- Structural Drying
Water that ran unnoticed reaches further than it shows. Drying brings walls, floors and framing back, measured point by point.
- Vacant & Second-Home Water Damage
A leak in an occupied house is found in hours. In an empty one it runs until the next visit, and that time is the size of the loss.
Frequently asked questions
What outdoor plumbing should a Castle Rock homeowner shut down before winter?
The lawn irrigation system and every outdoor faucet. Irrigation connections and backflow devices hold water outside the house, and a hard freeze can split them. Shutting off the supply, draining or blowing out the lines, and disconnecting hoses in the fall prevents most early-winter damage.
Can a mild Castle Rock afternoon still lead to a frozen pipe that night?
Yes. At over six thousand feet, clear nights cool quickly, and a line left exposed during a warm afternoon can freeze by morning. It is the reason to shut down outdoor plumbing by the calendar in the fall, not by how warm the days still feel.
What should Castle Rock residents do before a January trip?
Keep the heat at a moderate setting, close the garage door, and ask someone to look inside every few days. In newer houses the garage is where most freezes start, and January brings the coldest nights here. Disconnecting outdoor hoses before leaving adds another layer of protection.
