Why are Ice Dams Bad?
Ice dams on the roof can be incredibly damaging to your home, and it is important to understand why. An ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at the roof's edge, usually when the snow melts due to warm temperatures and poor insulation. As the melted water runs down the roof, it reaches colder temperatures as it moves towards the edge, where it then freezes. Over time, this builds into a thick layer of ice along the roof's edge. This can cause significant damage as the dam holds back water and traps moisture inside and underneath your shingles. As this trapped moisture melts and refreezes, it can slowly seep into your attic or walls, causing serious issues such as rot or mold growth. Ice dams can also cause other problems like damage to gutters from extreme pressure from ice buildup or even ripped-off shingles from heavy chunks of ice sliding down from above. It's important to take preventative measures against ice dams on the roof, such as by increasing attic floor insulation, properly sealing air leaks around chimneys and vents, and having a good ventilation system in place that allows for proper airflow throughout your roof during cold months to keep snow from melting prematurely. These steps can help ensure your roof stays in top condition and protect you from costly repairs due to ice dams.
