Effective Ice Dam Prevention for Homes in Saint Clair Shores, MI

Ice dams are a common problem that homeowners in Saint Clair Shores, Michigan, have to deal with each year. Unfortunately, many of the DIY solutions for dealing with ice dams, such as chipping away at them or applying deicing chemicals, can be damaging to your roof and gutters. Fortunately, you can turn to Atlas Home Improvement for ice dam prevention, so that you’ll never have to deal with this problem again.

Comprehensive Ice Dam Prevention

Typically, ice dams form due to poor attic ventilation and insulation. High attic temperatures cause ice on the roof to melt while it is still freezing outside, causing water to run down the roof and freeze on the eaves. Atlas Home Improvement can address the root cause of ice dams by properly insulating and ventilating your attic.

Additionally, we offer an exceptionally effective ice dam prevention product – Gutter Heat by Gutter Helmet. This is a self-regulating heating cable that prevents ice melt from refreezing on your eaves. Instead, it simply melts into the gutters and is harmlessly diverted away from your home. One of the advantages of our gutter heaters is that they are incorporated into our top-of-the-line gutter protection system. In addition to preventing ice dams, these systems stop leaves, twigs, roof grit, and other debris from clogging your gutter system.
