Ice Dams

You know those pretty icicles hanging from your roof? Well, they're not so pretty when you realize the extent of damage they can do to your home. Icicles are a symptom of ice dams, which occur when snow above your living space melts (caused by insufficient insulation or air leaks in your roof or attic), runs down the roof and then freezes when it hits the insulated exterior wall of your home. They can cause extensive damage when the ice creeps back up under your roofing materials -- damage to the roof, as well as to the interior of the home when the ice melts and leaks back into your house. 

Many people spend a fortune hiring a contractor year after year to come fix ice dams. The good news is that you can fix ice dams once and for all by reducing air leaks and improving the insulation in your roof or attic.
