Solving ice damming and upstairs comfort issues in Wexford, PA 15090

Brad reached out after experiencing ice damming along the roofline and sides of his home during winter. Along with the ice buildup, the home had high energy bills and noticeable hot and cold temperature swings upstairs.

Ice dams are often caused by heat escaping into the attic, warming the roof deck and creating uneven melting and refreezing. Our team focused on stopping that heat loss at the source.

We sealed attic air leaks, sealed top plates and attic penetrations, addressed chimney-related leakage, sealed soffit areas, installed insulation dams, upgraded insulation levels, and improved attic access. By strengthening the attic’s thermal boundary, we reduced the heat escaping into the attic space.

With the improvements complete, the attic is properly sealed and insulated, helping prevent future ice damming. The upstairs now experiences more consistent temperatures, and the home operates more efficiently overall.
