Ice Dam & Roof Leak Damage Trinchera, 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
Who should a Trinchera renter call when the propane runs low?
The landlord first, since the lease may make the tank the owner's job, and then the supplier if the landlord cannot be reached. With December the coldest month here, letting a tank run dry can freeze the lines within a day.
What should a Trinchera home heated with wood have as a backup?
A heat source that runs on its own, such as a thermostat-controlled propane or electric heater. A wood stove burns down within hours, and an empty house cools fast after that.
Which two facts should every Trinchera tenant have on hand by November?
Where the main water shutoff is, and who to call after hours. Shutting the water off quickly after a split line limits the damage to one room instead of the whole house.
