Ice Dams - Sandpoint, Idaho
Emergency Response Services in Standpoint, ID and surrounding areas.
Ice Damming
Snow and ice can pose significant threats to homes in Sandpoint, ID, and its neighboring cities such as Ponderay, ID, Kootenai, ID, Dover, ID, and Sagle, ID, during cold winter conditions. One common issue is ice damming, which occurs when ice accumulates on roof eaves and valleys. As this ice infiltrates beneath roofing materials, it expands, potentially causing damage. When the ice melts, it can seep through seams or tears in the underlayment, leading to water damage in the attic or home. This water can extend beyond the upper level, causing damage behind walls and in ceilings.
Disaster Response is equipped with specialized equipment and techniques to safely remove ice damming without harming roofing. If damage has already occurred, we can repair or replace the roof and address any interior damage. Don’t wait for the unexpected. Contact Team DR at 844-315-3100 for assistance if you notice excessive ice and snow buildup on your roof. We’re here to help you protect your home from winter-related damage.
Snow Loads
In our area, we frequently experience substantial snowfall. Local building codes dictate the design of roof systems, specifying the maximum snow load they can bear. However, during periods of heavy and wet snowfall, the load can surpass the designed capacity of your roof system. This excess weight has the potential to cause damage to your roofing materials and compromise the structural integrity of your home.

Standing Water
Prominent standing water can create several common areas that are prone to water damage. Knowing what to look for can prevent small problems from growing into large and often costly repairs. Check for water stains around windows and doors, ceilings and cabinets and especially check for water stains and leaks underneath sinks. Staining, bubbling, and peeling paint are all indicators of moisture leaks, buckling or risen floors and floor boards can also be indicators of water damage. When warning signs of water damage arise, minimize the damage of water on your home with our expert help.
