Ice Dam & Roof Leak Damage Edwards, 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 should an Edwards townhome owner arrange before leaving for weeks?
Heat left at a steady, moderate setting, a caretaker or neighbor with a key, and the association's contact details for whoever looks in. Because units share walls, a failure next door can reach your home too, so it helps to know who manages the neighboring units and how to reach them quickly.
When can pipes freeze in Edwards?
From October into May, which covers most of the ski season and the weeks after it. Many owners close their homes in spring, but nights stay cold enough to freeze an exposed line well after the last visit. Leaving the heat on until nights stay reliably mild closes that gap.
How do mobile homes in Edwards fare in a hard freeze?
They are among the first to have problems, because their water lines run under the floor rather than inside heated walls. Skirting keeps the cold out and heat tape keeps the supply line warm where it enters the home. Checking both before winter, and after any storm that could have damaged the skirting, prevents most frozen lines.
