Preventing Ice Dams: What You Should Know

Preventing Icedam

Ice Dams: Causes and Solutions for Your Home

Ice dams can be a recurring problem for homeowners in colder climates. They are essentially the result of melting and re-freezing snow on the roof, and the deeper the snow accumulation, the more severe the problem can become. The heat that leaks into the attic from the living space below is the primary cause of snow melting on the roof surface.

If you’re experiencing ice damming issues and water penetrating your home, it could be due to poor ventilation and insulation in the attic. This allows snow to melt prematurely, leading to ice dams. Fortunately, there are solutions available to address this problem and prevent it from happening again.

We got in touch with Carlos on a Saturday desperate for help with our ice dams, as we had water actively running into the house. He got a crew together for us the next day.
