Ice dams occur when heat from inside your attic warms the underside of the roof due to lack of insulation or lack of ventilation causing snow on the roof deck to melt. After melting the water makes its way down your roof until it freezes again on the cold overhang developing an ice dam. While removing the ice dam can provide a temporary solution to your ice damming problem, our team can prevent future ice dams by improving the insulation/ventilation in your attic.
