Ice Dam & Roof Leak Damage Eagle, 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
Who pays attention to an empty Eagle townhouse in winter?
Often only the neighbors, who notice water on their side of the shared wall. An owner who travels should leave the heat at a moderate setting and give the HOA or a neighbor a key and a phone number, so a leak is caught before it reaches the next unit.
What can an Eagle homeowner with electric heat do in a winter outage?
Keep doors closed to hold heat in the rooms with plumbing, and if the outage lasts into the night, shut the main valve and open a low faucet. About one home in five here relies on electric heat, which ends the moment the power goes.
Why do Eagle gutters and window wells matter most in April?
It brings the most precipitation of the year, and what falls on a roof ends up against the foundation if the gutters or window wells cannot carry it away. Clearing both before spring keeps that water outside.
