Ice Dam Removal & Repair in Southeast Wisconsin
Ice dams form when heat escaping from your home melts snow on the roof. The water flows toward the colder roof edges, where it refreezes, creating a ridge of ice. Wisconsin’s cold winters and frequent snowfall create the ideal conditions for this issue to develop.
When your roof has an ice dam, it can trap water beneath shingles and other roofing materials, potentially causing leaks and water damage to the roof deck and your home’s interior. Ice and accumulated water can also damage gutters.
When homeowners need ice dam repair in Wisconsin, they turn to Vesel Services. We are an experienced local roofing contractor serving southeast Wisconsin who can inspect your roof to identify damage and determine the best solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Whether you’re looking at massive icicles hanging from gutters or a leak indoors, you probably have some questions. You can always count on our experienced roofers for honest, straightforward answers.
What causes ice dams to form on a roof?
Anything that allows heat to escape can contribute to ice dam formation. Inadequate attic insulation or ventilation are common causes, since they can cause snow to melt and freeze at the edges of your roof.
In addition, a roof that doesn’t shed water properly can contribute to the issue. Our roofers can assess your attic and roof to make recommendations to reduce ice dam formation.
Can ice dams cause lasting damage to my roof?
Yes, ice dams can leave lasting damage to both gutters and roofing materials. Trapped water seeps beneath shingles, through decking, and even into your house, leading to structural and water damage.
This pattern can destroy insulation, ceilings, and walls by weakening materials or staining surfaces. Our roofers can assess the extent of the damage and recommend long-term solutions.
Is ice dam removal covered by homeowners insurance?
Homeowners’ insurance coverage for ice dam damage repair depends on the policy and the circumstances that caused the damage. Some policies may cover sudden damage caused by an ice dam, but many do not.
Homeowners should review their policy and contact their insurance provider to confirm what is covered before scheduling roof repair. Coverage for gutter replacement may also depend on the cause of the damage and the policy’s terms.
How can I prevent ice dams next winter?
Preparing your home before winter arrives can help reduce the risk of ice dams forming on your roof. Sealing air leaks between your attic and living spaces, improving attic insulation, and ensuring adequate attic ventilation can help in roof ice dam prevention.
Cleaning gutters before winter can also keep melting snow and ice from backing up. If your gutters need to be replaced, our professional gutter installation can help ensure water drains properly from your roof.
