Ice Damming in Greensboro & the Piedmont Triad
Ice damming is actively causing roof leaks and interior damage across the Piedmont Triad. Once it starts, it continues to worsen until action is taken.
If ice is visible on gutters or roof edges, water may already be backing up beneath your roof.

What Ice Damming Is
Ice damming happens when melting snow refreezes at colder roof edges and valleys. This blocks water from draining off the roof.
- Snow melts on warmer roof sections
- Water refreezes at edges and valleys
- Ice blocks drainage paths
- Water backs up under roofing materials
Why Ice Damming Causes Roof Leaks
When water can’t drain properly, it finds another path — often under shingles, into roof decking, and eventually into ceilings and walls.
Why This Is Happening Across the Triad Right Now
- Back-to-back winter storms
- Daytime melting followed by overnight freezing
