TESTIMONIALS
  • "SOLVED ATTIC CONDENSATION PROBLEM"
    Typically, I end up completely frustrated when I work with a home repair business. Sela, however, was completely different. Bill, Sela's representative, spent hours in my home and on the phone trying to determine the source of our attic condensation problem. He called other experts, waded through inches of insulation and listened to my concerns to come up with a workable and affordable solution. He never pushed me to do anything that I didn't think was reasonable and he followed up on all of my concerns. I plan to call Sela for many future home projects

  • "GREAT WORK, GREAT PRICE."
    We contacted Sela about repairing our roof, interior ceiling and gutters after having ice dam damage last winter. We were very pleased with the service from start to finish and everything looks great. The estimate was right on target with what was quoted. Once the work was completed they submitted all the documents to our insurance and even cavme to the house to finalize the paperwork. We would definitely recommend Sela for any home repair or remodeling.

SNOW & ICE REMOVAL

SELA SPECIALISTS HAVE BEEN SAFELY SOLVING SNOW AND ICE PROBLEMS FOR YEARS.

Whether it’s routine snow removal to prevent ice dams, or emergency service to remove ice from a leaky roof, you can trust Sela to tackle any job, big or small.

WHAT IS AN ICE DAM?

An ice dam is a ridge or build-up of ice at the bottom edge of the roof. When ice dams form, the snow that’s trapped behind the ice melts and puddles behind the ridge. Shingle roofs are not designed to be waterproof; they’re designed to shed water. Once water has accumulated and has nowhere to go, it finds a way into the home through nail penetrations and behind flashings.

HOW DO ICE DAMS FORM?

Ice dams can form in a variety of ways. The most common way is when large amounts of snow accumulate on a roof, and some of the snow begins to melt. The melt water runs down the roof underneath the snow blanket, and when it hits the cold edge of the roof, it refreezes. The ice builds and builds, eventually creating an ice dam that traps the rest of the melt water up on the roof. Other factors leading to ice dams are things like hot spots on the roof. They can occur around vents, skylights, or above an area that lacks sufficient insulation. These hot spots will melt the snow only to have it refreeze as it runs down the roof over a colder area of the roof, usually at the edge.
