Ice Dam & Roof Leak Damage Parker, 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
Is April too late in the year for a Parker pipe to freeze?
No. Normal nights here stay below freezing into April. A house left with its heat off for a spring trip can still meet a hard frost, especially along exterior walls and in garages. Keeping the thermostat at a moderate setting until nights warm up covers it.
What happens in a Parker apartment building when a pipe splits in a vacant unit?
Water moves into the units below and beside it, and those residents are usually the first to see it. Management should know which units are empty and check them during cold weather, because a vacant unit gives no warning of its own.
What should Parker homeowners check before a December trip?
That the heat is set to a moderate level, garden hoses are disconnected, the garage door is closed, and someone has a key. December brings the coldest nights here, and most frozen pipes in newer homes start at a garage line or an outdoor faucet.
