When snow and ice builds up on your Fairfield roof, you may need ice dam water damage repair services sooner than you think.

Fairfield residents are no stranger to cold, snowy, Connecticut winters. But, when ice dams form on your roof, snow and ice can end up leaking into your home. For professional ice dam water damage repair, you can call the water restoration specialists at SERVPRO of Westport/Fairfield for 24/7 emergency services.

Ice Dam Water Damage

If you didn't remove the ice dam on your roof before it began to cause damage, you must take immediate action to prevent further issues. Ice dams can cause:

• Damage to your shingles
• Damage to your roof
• Wet attic and ceiling insulation
• Water stains
• Water damage to walls, floors, and ceilings
• Mold and mildew growth

What To Do When You Have An Ice Dam

1. Call an ice dam removal company - The dam will only continue to cause damage to your Fairfield home until it melts away or is removed. While there are DIY methods for removal, its safest for you and your roof to call a professional.
2. File an insurance claim - If your home sustained damages from the ice dam, your insurance company will likely cover the repairs. But, they usually do not pay for dam removal.
3. Call SERVPRO of Westport/Fairfield for ice dam water damage repair - As water damage restorations specialists, our team is properly trained and equipped to return your home to pre-damage conditions as soon as possible.
4. Learn how to prevent ice dams - If an ice dam forms on your roof once, it's likely to happen again. Consult with a roofing contractor to see how you can prevent warm air from entering your attic space and warming the roof. If you're not ready for roof renovations, make sure to remove snow from the roof to prevent melting snow in the first place.
