What Detroit Homeowners Need to Know
Ice Dams Are a Major Detroit Winter Roofing Problem
Ice dams form when heat escapes through the roof, melts snow at the top, and the water refreezes at the cold eaves — backing up under shingles and causing interior water damage. They’re extremely common in Detroit’s older homes with inadequate attic insulation. If you notice icicles forming along the roofline or water stains on interior ceilings after a thaw, an ice dam assessment is urgently needed. Prevention — proper attic insulation and ventilation — is more cost-effective than repeated repairs.
Detroit’s Ageing Housing Stock Needs Regular Roof Assessment
A significant portion of Detroit’s housing stock dates from the 1920s–1960s. Many of these roofs have had one or more layers of shingles added over the original, which is common practice but eventually creates problems — Michigan building code limits roof layers. If your Detroit home is more than 20 years old and hasn’t had a roof inspection, a professional assessment before winter is a sensible precaution.
