Preventing Damaging Ice Dams
An ice dam is ice that builds up on the lower edge of your home’s roof and prevents water (or melting ice and snow) from flowing off your roof and into your gutters and downspouts. Since the water can’t flow off the roof, it backs up and eventually finds its way into your home.
The ice dam damage usually shows up as water leaking into rooms directly under the roof or signs of water staining your ceiling, walls, and insulation.
