A ridge of ice that forms along the lower edge of a roof, possibly leading to roof leaks. Ice dams are usually caused by heat leaking from the attic, which melts snow on the upper parts of the roof; the water then refreezes along the colder eaves, forming a dam that allows water to penetrate under shingles, possibly leaking into the attic. Remember: Ice dams are just the symptom of a problem. The real problem is poor ventilation and insulation. * Keep your gutters clean of all debris
* Buy a roof snow scraper or roof rake and remove the snow regularly from the roof. This will reduce the chance of ice dams forming. Just clean off a few feet along the bottom edge of the roof. This keeps the eave edge free of ice. * Make sure there is adequate insulation in your attic. 508-713-5595    |
 Ice dam removal can be very expensive. You should always hire a professional and not try to resolve the problem yourself. Homeowners try to save money and end up creating more damage to the rooftops. Not only are shingles on top of your roof very fragile, but you can hurt yourself badly by attempting to go on your roof during the winter when it is very slippery.
