Ice Dam Removal in Kennebunk, ME

---

Ice dams can force water up under shingles and into your home—often showing up as ceiling stains, dripping, or wet insulation during thaws. Roof Inc. provides ice dam removal in Kennebunk with a safety-first approach that protects your roof while stopping the leak fast.

If you’re seeing active leaking, call 207-466-4422. We’ll talk through what you’re seeing and get you on the schedule as quickly as possible.

• Icicles forming along the eaves (especially thick, continuous lines)
• Water stains on ceilings or walls
• Dripping from soffits or behind gutters during warm-ups
• Wet insulation or a musty attic smell
• Frozen ridges of ice at the roof edge
• Leaks that “come and go” with temperature swings

• Identify the leak path and the ice dam location
• Remove ice buildup safely to relieve pressure at the eaves
• Clear drainage paths so meltwater can flow off the roof
• Check common failure points (valleys, chimneys, dormers, flashing)
• Provide photo documentation when helpful (especially for insurance)
• Recommend prevention steps, so you get fewer calls next winter

Ice dams are usually caused by a combination of heat loss, ventilation issues, and heavy snow load. Depending on your home, we may recommend:

• Attic air sealing and insulation improvements
• Ventilation upgrades (ridge/soffit balance)
• Targeted flashing improvements in leak-prone areas
• Heat cable in specific problem zones (when appropriate)
• Seasonal roof snow removal to reduce buildup

• Fast response and straight answers (no scare tactics)
• 20+ years of roofing experience in Maine winters
• Safety-first work practices and clean job sites
• Roof-focused solutions (we don’t just “chip ice” and leave)
• Clear next-step recommendations to prevent repeat damage

Is ice dam removal an emergency?
If you have active leaking, yes—water can damage insulation, drywall, and framing quickly.

Can I just knock the ice off myself?
Be careful: chipping can damage shingles and flashing, and it’s a major fall risk. It’s usually cheaper to do it right than to repair avoidable roof damage.

Will removing the ice stop the leak?
Often it does, but we also check the likely entry points (valleys, chimneys, dormers, flashing) to make sure the leak path is addressed.

Can insurance cover ice dam damage?
Sometimes. We can provide photos and documentation to support the claim if interior damage occurred.
