Professional ice dam removal serving Framingham and surrounding areas.
Ice dam removal in Framingham is mid-century architecture meets New England winter: the capes, ranches, and splits with their shallow pitches and knee-wall attics, insulated to 1965 standards and air-leaking at every ceiling bypass, building dams with metronome regularity every deep-snow winter. Heat escaping the living space melts snow high on the roof; the melt runs to the cold eave and refreezes; the dam grows until meltwater pools behind it and backs under the shingles — straight into the finished ceiling below, which in this housing stock is usually a real room with real contents. Water Damage Pros US removes ice dams across Framingham with low-pressure steam — the method that melts the dam without wrecking the shingles — and handles the interior damage the dam already caused.

Removing the dam without fixing the heat loss is a subscription — same roof, same dam, same ceiling stain next winter, and Framingham’s mid-century attics renew the subscription automatically. The ice is a symptom; the warm attic is the disease. Steam clears this winter’s emergency, and the air-sealing scope keeps next winter’s from ever forming.
