Winter in Pittsburgh can be brutal — and your roof takes the hardest hit. Heavy snowfall, freezing temperatures, and constant thawing can quickly lead to serious roof damage, dangerous ice dams, and unexpected leaks inside your home.
A major snowstorm can create heavy stress on your roof system. Even small issues can turn into major repairs once melting begins.
If your roof is showing signs of trouble after a snowstorm, EAS Roofing is here to help, fast.
Ice Dams: One of the Biggest Winter Roof Threats
Ice dams form when snow melts on the warmer upper parts of the roof, then refreezes near the edges.
This creates a blockage that traps water behind it.

Ice dams can lead to:
Roof leaks
Damaged gutters
Mold in attic spaces
Rotting wood and insulation loss
If you see large icicles or uneven snow melting, your roof may already be at risk.
Winter Roof Leaks Can Happen Suddenly
Once temperatures rise, trapped snow and ice begin melting fast — and water will find the quickest path inside your home.
Signs of a roof leak include:
Water stains on ceilings or walls
Dripping in the attic
Peeling paint or bubbling drywall
Musty odors indoors
A winter leak can worsen quickly, so immediate inspection is critical.
