Project Coordinated by Customer Service TeamIce dam removal in Erie PA
Project Overview
Complete Roofing Systems performed targeted ice dam removal on a residence on Swanville Rd in Erie, Pennsylvania, where heavy winter buildup threatened gutters and roof decking. The homeowner wanted to stop water backup and reduce structural stress; our crew cleared packed ice, inspected flashing, and restored proper drainage to protect the roof through Erie’s freeze-thaw cycles.
Results
Removing the ice dams immediately relieved excess weight on the roof and gutters and eliminated active water backup that risked interior leaks. The property regained full drainage function, and visible sagging and icicle hazards were reduced, improving curb safety and longevity. Work included inspection of flashing and recommendations for attic ventilation and insulation to lower future ice dam formation; repairs are backed by Complete Roofing Systems' workmanship guarantee to ensure lasting protection.
