Ice building up along your Aurora eaves forces meltwater back under the shingles and into your ceilings. Elite Guardian Mitigation answers 24/7, arrives in about an hour, and dries the damage with IICRC-standard local crews before mold sets in.
Crews trace where meltwater entered, checking the roof deck, attic, and ceiling cavities with moisture meters and thermal imaging so no hidden wet pocket is missed before drying begins.
Standing water gets pulled from ceilings and floors, saturated insulation is removed, and crews cover belongings and set containment so the rest of your Aurora home stays clean and dry.
Air movers and dehumidifiers run continuously on the attic, ceilings, and wall cavities, with daily moisture readings logged until framing, insulation, and drywall all reach a verified dry standard.
Crews replace damaged drywall, insulation, and paint, then point you toward attic sealing and ventilation fixes so the next Aurora snowstorm does not repeat the problem.
While help is on the way, these first steps, done only where it is safe, limit the damage and protect the insurance claim.
Shut the supply off at the source, or close the home's main valve if the source is not obvious. Stopping the flow limits the damage more than anything else.
Switch off electricity to the affected area, but only if the breaker can be reached without standing in or touching the water.
Get a crew dispatched right away. The sooner extraction and drying begin, the more flooring, drywall, and belongings can be saved.
Take photos and a short video of the water and the affected rooms before anything is moved, so the insurance claim starts strong.
Ice dam water damage cleanup in Aurora usually runs about $1,500 to $7,000. What drives the price is how far the water traveled, whether attic insulation and drywall need replacing, and the size of the stained area. Most homeowner policies in Colorado cover sudden ice dam leaks, so crews document everything and bill your insurer directly, holding repair estimates until your adjuster signs off.

Crews answer the phone 24/7 through the winter and typically have a crew at your Aurora door within about an hour. Ice dam leaks tend to spread once the roof warms in the afternoon sun, so the sooner crews start extraction and drying, the less ceiling and insulation you lose.
Crews do not recommend it. Chipping at ice can tear shingles, damage gutters, and put you on an icy ladder in freezing weather. The safer move is to stop the interior water damage first. Call to dry the inside, then address the roof and attic causes once conditions allow.
In most cases, yes. Colorado policies generally treat a sudden ice dam leak as covered water damage to the interior of your home. Coverage for the roof repair itself varies by policy. Crews document the source, take moisture readings and photos, and work directly with your adjuster to support the claim.
Most repeat ice dams trace back to attic heat and weak ventilation. Sealing air leaks into the attic, adding insulation, and improving soffit and ridge airflow keep the roof cold enough that snow does not melt and refreeze at the eaves. Clean gutters and downspouts help the runoff drain.
Aurora crews are on call 24 hours a day, local and fast, and can be on the way within the hour.
