Ice dams are one of the most destructive winter roofing problems for Maple Grove homeowners. Every winter, ice dams cause thousands of dollars in damage to homes throughout Maple Grove, from the Elm Creek area to Arbor Lakes, Bass Lake Road, and Rush Creek. Maple Grove Roofing Repairs provides safe, professional ice dam removal and addresses the root causes so ice dams don't return.

Ice dams form when heat escapes through your roof, melts snow, and the meltwater refreezes at the cold eaves. The resulting ice dam blocks drainage, forcing water under your shingles and into your Maple Grove home. The damage including water stains, ruined insulation, damaged drywall, and even structural damage can be extensive.

Simply removing the ice dam is a temporary fix. The real solution is addressing the root cause: inadequate attic insulation and ventilation. Maple Grove Roofing Repairs removes your ice dam safely and then assesses and corrects the underlying insulation and ventilation issues that caused it, so you're not dealing with the same problem next winter.

• Water stains on interior ceilings or walls near exterior walls
