An ice dam is a very Minnesota loss and different from a plumbing leak. Heat escaping into the attic melts the snow, the water runs to the cold eave and refreezes, and the dam that forms backs meltwater up under the shingles and into the house. Water Damage Maple Grove traces it and dries it out.

☎ Call (763) 294-5325What the local crews do for ice dam water damage
The restoration technicians trace the water from where you see it back to where it entered, dry the attic insulation, ceiling, and wall cavities in place with controlled access, and verify it with moisture meters. Because the water comes through the roof, it overlaps with the roof and storm leak and ceiling leak work. The restoration crews coordinate the roof and gutter repair so the dam does not simply return.
Ice dams are a cold-attic fix
Drying the water is the crews' work; keeping the dam from returning means sealing attic air leaks, adding insulation, and improving ventilation so the roof stays cold.
Why ice dams keep coming back
An ice dam is really an insulation and ventilation problem, so drying the water without addressing the cause invites a repeat. The Ready.gov winter guide and the University of Minnesota Extension both cover ice dam prevention, from attic sealing to keeping the roof cold and the eaves clear.

Ice dam water damage cleanup questions, answered
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A Maple Grove dispatcher is standing by 24/7.
(763) 294-5325Talk to a Maple Grove dispatcherCan you remove the ice dam itself?
The focus is the water damage inside; the local pros dry the attic, ceilings, and walls and coordinate safe dam and roof work so the leak stops and does not return.
Where does ice dam water actually go?
It backs up under the shingles and travels along the roof deck, so it usually appears at a ceiling, wall, or light fixture well away from the eave.
Is ice dam damage covered by insurance?
Sudden interior water damage from an ice dam is often covered. The crews document the source and the damage with photos and moisture readings for your carrier.
Do I need to replace the attic insulation?
Often the soaked section, yes, because wet insulation loses its R-value and stays damp. The local crews remove what is compromised and dry the rest.
Why do I get ice dams every winter?
It is usually a warm-attic problem: heat escaping melts the snow, which refreezes at the cold eave. Sealing and insulating the attic is the long-term fix.
How fast can you come out?
The restoration crews dispatch 24/7 and reach most Maple Grove homes fast. The sooner Maple Grove water damage pros dry it, the less the meltwater spreads through the ceiling and walls.
