S&K Construction and Remodeling LLC has announced the launch of professional ice dam removal services in Solon, Ohio, expanding its winter roofing solutions to better protect local homeowners from seasonal damage.
The Solon-based contractor said the new service is designed to address one of Northeast Ohio’s most common winter roofing issues — ice dams — which can cause serious and costly structural problems if left untreated.
Winter conditions in Solon frequently bring heavy snowfall followed by fluctuating temperatures. These repeated freeze-thaw cycles create ideal conditions for ice dams to form along roof edges. When snow melts and refreezes, thick ridges of ice develop, preventing proper drainage and forcing water back under shingles.
Left unresolved, this process can result in interior leaks, insulation damage, and long-term structural deterioration.
Ice dams develop when heat escapes from a home’s attic and warms the upper portion of the roof. Snow begins to melt on the warmer surface and flows downward. As it reaches the colder roof edge, it refreezes, gradually building a frozen barrier.
Over time, the barrier thickens and blocks melting snow from draining off the roof. Water then pools behind the ice and can seep beneath roofing materials.
Homes with inadequate attic insulation or poor ventilation are particularly vulnerable. In Northeast Ohio’s harsh winter climate, ice dams can form quickly — sometimes after just one significant snowfall followed by a temperature swing.
While icicles hanging from gutters may appear harmless or even picturesque, they can signal a much larger problem.
Untreated ice dams may lead to:
In many cases, homeowners only become aware of the issue after noticing water stains on ceilings or walls — often when damage is already extensive.
By offering professional ice dam removal services in Solon, Ohio, S&K Construction and Remodeling LLC aims to help residents act proactively rather than reactively.
S&K Construction and Remodeling LLC now provides specialized ice dam removal throughout Solon and surrounding communities. The company states that its trained team uses safe, proven removal techniques designed to eliminate ice dams without damaging shingles, flashing, or gutters.
Rather than relying on risky DIY approaches — such as chipping ice with tools or applying corrosive chemicals — the company focuses on methods that preserve the integrity of the roofing system while restoring proper drainage.
Beyond immediate removal, the team also evaluates underlying causes, including insulation gaps and ventilation concerns, helping homeowners reduce the likelihood of recurring problems later in the season.
Prompt service during peak winter months is a key component of the company’s approach, particularly when emergency leaks are reported.
In addition to removal services, S&K Construction and Remodeling LLC emphasizes prevention. Addressing attic insulation deficiencies, improving ventilation systems, sealing air leaks, and ensuring gutters remain clear can significantly lower the risk of future ice dams.
Homeowners are encouraged to schedule inspections before or during winter to identify vulnerabilities early. Preventive maintenance can often be far less expensive than repairing water-damaged drywall, insulation, framing, or roofing materials.
By combining emergency response with long-term solutions, the company aims to provide comprehensive winter roof protection for Solon residents.
