Northwest Colorado Ice Dam Removal
So, what is an ice dam?? An ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at the edge of a roof which prevents melting snow from draining off of your roof. The water that backs up behind the ice dam can leak into your home and cause damage to walls, floors, ceilings, and insulation. In North-West Colorado, the only team that you want to trust removing ice dams on your roof is Berlet Roofing. We practically wrote the book on ice dam removal and are the best team to pick for the job.

What Is an Ice Dam?
How Are Ice Dams Formed?
To put it simply: ice dams are formed when snow and ice on your roof start to melt but freeze again when it meets the edge of your roof. Factors such as ventilation, insulation, solar orientation, tree coverage, home architecture, snow cover, homeowner lifestyle, and weather conditions all interact to determine ice dam activity on every home.
Do Ice Dams Damage My Roof?
Damage to the actual roof is often very subtle; the real damage occurs inside your home. Damaged roofs leak on attic insulation. In the short term, wet insulation doesn’t work well, and in the long term, the quality and effectiveness of the insulation are compromised. This sets up a vicious cycle: heat loss → ice dams → roof leaks → insulation damage → more heat loss!
Signs Of Ice Dams
You will be able to see an actual ice dam hanging from the side of your roof. You should never try to remove the dam yourself; once an ice dam has formed always call Berlet Roofing to safely remove it! Inside your home, roof leaks caused by ice dams will be obvious when you start finding paint peeling on your walls and ceilings with no apparent source of water.
