Ice Dam & Roof Leak Damage Snowmass Village, 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 happens to an empty Snowmass Village condominium during a power outage?
Its electric heat stops, and if the outage lasts long enough the unit cools toward freezing with nobody there. In a building of many units, a line that splits in one can flood several. A temperature alarm that sends a message lets an owner or manager act before that happens.
When can a Snowmass Village home be closed without risking a freeze?
Only in midsummer, if the heat is off. Freezing nights run from October into April, so a home closed after the ski season is still in freezing weather for weeks. Leaving the heat on at a moderate setting, or draining the lines, is necessary for most of the year.
Who finds a leak in a Snowmass Village condominium when the owner is away?
Usually building staff or the neighbors below. Most owners here are not in residence much of the year, so leaving a key and current contact details with the building's manager is the most effective protection. A manager who knows which units are empty can check them first when a storm or an outage hits.
