Stop Ice Dams Before They Damage Your Home
Ice damming is more than just a winter nuisance — it’s a serious roofing problem caused by improper attic ventilation, insulation, and exhaust ducting. When snow melts on a warm roof and refreezes at the edges, it creates a barrier that traps water. This water backs up under shingles, leading to leaks, damaged insulation, and even voided manufacturer warranties.
Unlike roofers who dismiss ice dams as “crazy winter weather,” Leak Stoppers Inc understands the science of airflow, condensation, and drafts. We identify the real cause — attic heat loss — and deliver permanent solutions.

Why Do Ice Dams Form
- Heat escaping from attic lights, bathroom fans, or staircases
- Warm air from HVAC units or ducts located in the attic
- Poor insulation and weather stripping
- Inadequate soffit venting or ridge ventilation
Without proper ventilation, attic temperatures can reach 50°F or more on a 20°F night, melting snow and creating ice dams. Even premium roofing systems cannot stop leaks if ventilation and insulation are flawed.
How Leak Stoppers Eliminates Ice Dams
Our proven methods include:
- Installing soffits and low-lying louvers for homes without overhangs
- Adding ridge vents, attic baffles, and exhaust fans for balanced airflow
- Sealing attic access points with door tents and insulation upgrades
- Using Weatherwatch and Weatherlock G ice/water shields for added protection
- Applying peel-and-stick bitumen membranes that self-seal around nails for watertight durability
These solutions are designed using scientific principles and decades of experience, ensuring long-term or permanent protection against ice damming.
