Ice Dam Damage

2/17/2016 (Permalink)

3 ways ice dams damage your property:

1. Heat collects in the attic and warms the roof, except at the eaves.

2. Snow melts on the warm roof and then freezes on the cold eaves.

3. Ice accumulates along the eaves, forming a dam. Melted water from the warm roof backs up behind it, flows under the shingles, and into the house.

Icicles are pretty, but they can cause damage, too. We see happen this quite often. Call us, if you experience water damage in your home or business.
