This is a picture of what a potential ice dam may look like at your home.

Do you know what an ice dam is?

Maybe you have been fortunate enough to never experience ice dams, but they can be a serious problem in the winter. Ice dams can be a major problem during the winter season. They form when heated air melts roof snow downward into water dammed behind still-frozen ice. When the trapped water cannot safely flow or run into the gutter system, it can back flow under the roof’s shingles and into the structures interior areas. Here are SERVPRO of Oregon City/Sandy, we can help mitigate water damage caused by ice dams and help you get your structure back to preloss condition.
