ice and water shield

In the snowy regions of Northeast Ohio, homeowners face unique challenges in maintaining the integrity of their roofs. One critical component in combating these challenges is the installation of an adequate ice and water shield. At S&K Construction and Remodeling LLC, we prioritize the protection of your home by installing a full six feet of ice and water shield, ensuring your roof withstands the harshest winter conditions.

Understanding Ice and Water Shield

An ice and water shield is a self-adhering membrane applied to the most vulnerable areas of a roof, such as eaves, valleys, and around chimneys. Its primary function is to prevent water infiltration caused by ice dams and wind-driven rain, offering an extra layer of protection beyond standard underlayment. citeturn0search6

The Importance of Six Feet Installation in Northeast Ohio

Northeast Ohio is notorious for its heavy snowfall and freezing temperatures, creating ideal conditions for ice dams. These ice dams can cause water to back up under shingles, leading to leaks and significant interior damage. By extending the ice and water shield six feet up from the roof’s edge, S&K Construction and Remodeling LLC ensures coverage extends beyond the interior wall line, effectively safeguarding against potential leaks. citeturn0search0
