If you’re seeing water stains, dripping, or an active leak during winter in Kittery, ice dams are often the culprit. Freeze/thaw cycles and coastal weather can turn a “fine yesterday” roof into a leak fast.

Iron Badger Roofing helps with ice dam leak response, winter troubleshooting, and scope-based removal—so you can stop the damage.

Water coming in right now? Do this first

  • Protect the interior and take photos/video
  • Call/text us with your address and what you’re seeing
  • If safe, note where the leak shows up (near exterior walls, chimney, valley, etc.)

We’ll give an honest ETA and tell you the safest next step.

What causes ice dams

Ice dams form when melting snow refreezes at the colder roof edge, creating a ridge that traps water. Water backs up under roofing and finds a path inside.

What we can do

Depending on conditions, we may:

  • Reduce snow load in key areas
  • Create controlled drainage paths
  • Address obvious detail failures when conditions allow
  • Document damage for insurance (when applicable)

Pricing approach

Winter work is priced by scope and conditions. Most visits start as a minimum service call scope because safe setup and diagnosis take time.

Photos help us give a faster, straighter answer.

Will this prevent future ice dams?
