Castle Rock homeowners on our ice dam roof leak work
An ice dam built on the north eaves and meltwater came through the ceiling. They found where it got in, dried the attic and ceiling, and advised on insulation to reduce the next one. I would not have known how far it spread.
Ice backed up under the shingles and dripped down an interior wall. Our restoration crews dried the cavity and documented it so the roofer and our carrier both had what they needed.

Long cold spells and heavy Palmer Divide snow set up the perfect conditions for ice dams in Castle Rock. Heat escaping into the attic melts the snow on the upper roof, the water runs down to the cold eaves and refreezes, and a ridge of ice builds along the edge. Behind that dam, meltwater pools and backs up under the shingles, then drips into the attic, the top-floor ceilings, and down the exterior walls. It is a slow, hidden winter leak that can soak insulation and drywall for weeks before a stain appears.
Why ice dams do so much hidden damage
The water gets in above the ceiling and works downward out of sight:
- Meltwater backs up under shingles the roof was never meant to hold
- It soaks attic insulation, which loses its R-value and stays wet
- Water tracks down top-floor walls and pools behind the drywall
- The cold, damp cavity hides the leak until the dam finally melts
The Town of Castle Rock and every Front Range roofer see this pattern each winter, and the fix starts with getting the trapped water out of the structure.

We dry what the meltwater reached and help you keep the next dam from forming.
- Find where the water is getting in with thermal imaging and meters
- Open and dry soaked ceilings, walls, and attic insulation to a verified reading
- Run dehumidifiers to pull moisture from the cold cavity
- Advise on attic air-sealing and ventilation, and see roof leak water damage for envelope repairs
We dry to IICRC standards and document the loss for your carrier, then point you to the insulation and ventilation fixes that keep the roof cold and the dam from returning.
A cold roof is a dry roof
Ice dams form when attic heat melts the snow above and it refreezes at the eaves. Air-sealing and insulating the attic, and keeping soffit and ridge vents clear, keeps the roof cold and stops the dam before it starts.
An ice dam on the north side sent meltwater through the top-floor ceiling in the dead of winter. They found where it was getting in, dried the attic and ceiling, and told me exactly what to fix in the attic. It did not come back the next year.

Ice Dam Roof Leak questions, answered
Water in your home right now?
Do not wait for the FAQ. A local Castle Rock crew is standing by 24/7.
(720) 745-5225 Call now24/7 live dispatchWhat is an ice dam and why does it leak?
Attic heat melts snow on the upper roof, the water runs to the cold eaves and refreezes into a ridge of ice, and meltwater backs up behind it under the shingles and drips into the attic, ceilings, and walls.
Why are ice dams common in Castle Rock?
The Palmer Divide gets heavy snow and long cold spells, and many homes have attic heat loss that melts the roof snow. That combination builds ice dams at the eaves every winter.
Can you stop an ice dam from coming back?
We dry the damage and advise on the real fix, which is a colder roof through attic air-sealing, insulation, and clear ventilation. Raking heavy snow off the lower roof after a big storm also helps.
Will insurance cover ice dam damage?
Sudden interior water damage from an ice dam is often covered, though long-term or maintenance issues may not be. We document the entry and the interior damage for your adjuster.
How fast should I call?
Right away. Ice dam water soaks insulation and drywall out of sight, so the sooner we dry it, the less hidden damage and mold risk you face before the dam even melts.
