Snow Removal

Glastonbury, South Glastonbury, and Manchester Connecticut homes and businesses have an incredible amount of snow on the roofs.  There is a significant worry of building collapse, as there have already been a number of buildings and houses a bit further east that have already gone down.  The winds associated with the recent storms have caused snow drifts, in some places in excess of 8 feet, to form on roofs.  It is not just the large amount of snow, but the uneven distribution that causes concern.  We suggest, especially on low slope, flat roofs, or on houses with a very large accumulation that you have the snow removed ASAP.

Ice Dam Removal

Large amounts of snow will eventually lead to ice dams.  An ice dam is caused by melting snow from the heat of your home refreezing at the eaves.  Eventually, that water builds up and leaks in.  There is nothing you can do except for remove the snow from the roof and break up the ice dam.  If you would like your ice dams and snow removed from your home please call or text us at 860-942-3555

After the Ice Dam is Removed

There is a high likely hood that you are having the ice dam and the snow removed from your home because you have suffered interior damages from water leaks.  Rest assured, we can assist with that as well.  Ice dam and the subsequent damages are covered by insurance.  We write our estimates in Exactimate, this is the same software that insurance adjusters use.  This makes the claims process much simpler.  We will rebuild your home to as good if not better than how it was before the ice dams.  We also offer some roofing solutions that will make it so you never have ice dams again.

Ice Dam in Newington, CT

We have had some wild winter weather in Connecticut this year, and it doesn't look as though it will be ending just yet. Your roof and home is taking a beating under the weight of the ice and snow. But nothing is more damaging to your home than ice dams.

Ice dams form when melting snow from improperly insulated and vented attics and sunlight melt snow. The water from that melting snow will refreeze at the eave or in your gutters, thus creating a dam. Most roofing materials are not made to hold water resulting in it taking the path of least resistance, which is under the shingles and into your home! The damage this could create is extensive and expensive! Removing the snow and ice is the best prevention for ice dam and water damage. 

We are a full service restoration and roofing company. If you need an estimate for your homeowner's insurance claim for repairs from ice and water damage, mitigation for further damages (dry-outs, mold and mildew prevention), restoration or repairs, or simply just want to remove the ice and snow to prevent damages, call today and speak to our experienced contractor.

Snow and Ice Dam Removal - Glastonbury, CT

MARCUS ANTHONY CONSTRUCTION (860) 942-3555

Here in Connecticut we are no stranger to extreme weather! Despite it's beauty, snow and ice can reek havoc on your home. Those lovely icicles are indication of some potentially major damage and costly repairs to come. I'm talking about "ice dams".
Ice dams form when snow melts from an improperly insulated and vented attic. The water runs down along the shingles and once it hits the eaves and overhangs where it is cold, it refreezes and creates a "dam", allowing for water to take the path of least resistance, through your walls and ceilings! Once you realize what it happening, usually by water stains on your walls, ceilings and window frames, the damage is extensive. These may include:

• Saturated drywall
• Saturated insulation (rendering it useless)
• Warped wood
• Damaged gutters
• Damaged siding (depending on how your gutters are installed)
• Warped wood around windows
• Water stains
• Roof sheathing rotting 
• Dangerous mold and mildew growing in wall cavities and attic

You can prevent this damage by removing the snow and ice. This is a dangerous job, and we can help!
