Ice Dams

• In winter people often say how pretty icicles are when they hang from their roofs, they do not realize what they are looking at are ice dams.

• Ice dams form by the thawing and refreezing of melted snow, especially at the lower roof edge on the roof overhang and in gutters.

• Ice Dams cause water to pool and flow up and under shingles, causing leaks.
  

• Once a water migration pathway has been established it never self corrects.
  
  
• Ice damming can cause interior plaster and structural damage to your home.
  
  
• If you only have leaking in the winter you have damage from ice dams.
