No Leaks – Ice Dams & Good Valley Construction

Texas our Texas ~ within 72 hours we went from a winter weather advisory to a spring time weather advisory last week.

As fun as that extreme weather was, it also posed some issues for homes that experienced ice damming, and then, a fairly quick melting of ice on roof surface areas.

What is a valley?

A valley is formed by two intersecting slopes of a roof. Valleys collect water by design, and channels rainwater off the roof. Valley areas are often also shaded by higher roof peak and sloped areas. Any part of the roof that’s in the shade can be 10-20 degrees colder than an area that gets direct sunlight.

What is an ice dam?

An ice dam is a buildup of ice that forms and prevents melting ice (water) from draining off the roof. The water that backs up behind the dam can leak into a home and cause damage to walls, ceilings, insulation and other areas.

Snow, or ice tend to accumulate in your roof valleys (from top to bottom). Near the top of the valleys, where it’s warmer, frozen areas begin to melt and run down the valley. Hot air in your attic rises, so it’s always going to be warmer nearer the top of your valleys, and colder near the bottom of your valleys. All this is a perfect recipe for an ice dam.

Ice melting may freeze again when it reaches the colder lower part of your valleys. This lower part of the roof sometimes becomes packed with even more frozen buildup, which impedes the watershed design of the valley – sometimes to the point of redirecting water under the shingles, or breaching other waterproofing lines of defense applications on your home.

Why is Roofing Solutions Construction better?

Inherently, for over a decade, we have been installing an ice and water barrier in all valley areas. The ice and water barrier is a self-adhesive, waterproofing roof underlayment that acts as a shield against water and ice damage. It’s also made of modified bitumen (slip-resistant), which provides a watertight seal around the shingles and around penetrations.

Jerry at Roofing Solutions made the complicated process of dealing with my insurance company easy and without stress-- going back and forth with them for 2-3 months to make sure they covered everything needed. He did everything he promised at less than the price he quoted. Jerry also made sure the job was done right with superior methods, such as using a double layer of felt, and replacing all the gutters and downspouts so they would be a perfect color match, even though the insurance company originally only wanted to replace about half of them that were damaged. And throughout the entire process, he communicated with me regularly and promptly answered all my questions and concerns. Obviously, I highly recommend Roofing Solutions!

I reached out to Roofing Solutions after my roof started looking pretty rough. Jerry was fantastic from the first call — he gave me a quick, straightforward estimate and got me on the schedule with no problem at all. Throughout the whole process, Jerry kept me in the loop and his pricing stayed exactly as quoted. His crew arrived on time both days, worked efficiently, and made sure to clean up completely each evening. The new roof looks incredible. Big thanks to Jerry and his team for the excellent work — I’d definitely recommend Roofing Solutions to anyone needing a roof replacement.

Roofing Solutions DFW continues to exceed our expectations every time we use them. After the recent heavy rains in the DFW area, we experienced roof/gutter leaking. Their team responded quickly, performed a thorough roof inspection, and clearly explained the cause of the leaking and damage. We also had fascia and soffit damage due to leaking gutter. The crew was professional, courteous, and highly knowledgeable about roofing repairs, gutter repair, fascia replacement, and soffit restoration. They arrived on time, communication was great and helpful. They completed the exterior repairs with exceptional craftsmanship. Most importantly, the roof leak was fully resolved. If you need a reliable roofing company in Dallas-Fort Worth for roof repair, storm damage restoration, gutter repair, or exterior home repairs, Roofing Solutions DFW is the company to call. Their customer service is outstanding, the work quality is excellent, and the entire process was stress-free.

If you are looking for an honest and professional roofing company look no further. I needed a new roof and the electric meter reattached to the house that was both damaged by hail and high winds. Jerry took care of it all by working with the insurance company and finding an electrician that could work with his schedule. Basically all i had to do was pick out what shingle i wanted. Thank you Roofing Solutions DFW, the new roof looks great.
