Ice Dam & Roof Leak Damage Grant, 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
Can a newer cabin near Grant freeze if it has modern plumbing?
Yes. Modern construction keeps lines inside heated walls, but if the cabin is not heated, those walls are as cold as the outdoors. A newer cabin left filled and unheated freezes just as an old one does. The protection is the same: heat it reliably, or drain it.
When should a cabin near Grant be closed for the season?
Before freezing nights begin in October, and ideally by the last visit of late summer. Shut the water off, drain the lines, empty the water heater and leave faucets open. A cabin closed properly is safe until spring; one left filled is at risk from the first cold night.
What is the first thing to check when reopening a cabin near Grant?
The plumbing, under pressure. Turn the water on slowly and walk the cabin, watching under sinks, around the water heater and along any line near an outside wall. A line that froze while filled may have split and will only leak once pressure returns.
