Ice Dam & Roof Leak Damage Lone Tree, 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 pipes freeze in a new Lone Tree apartment?
Rarely inside the heated space, but lines near exterior walls, in unheated storage rooms or serving balconies can freeze in a December cold snap, especially in a unit left with the heat off. Keeping the thermostat at a moderate setting while away prevents most problems.
How is a leak in an empty Lone Tree apartment usually found?
By the neighbors below, when water shows in their ceiling, or by staff who notice it in a corridor. A unit that is empty between leases or while its tenant travels gives no warning of its own. Reporting any stain or drip at once, with where and when it appeared, shortens the search.
What should Lone Tree townhome owners arrange before traveling?
Moderate heat, a neighbor or association contact who can get inside, and a way for them to reach you. Because townhomes share walls, a failure next door can reach your home too, and the quickest stop is someone nearby who knows where the water shuts off.
