What is an Ice Dam?
Ice Dams are Ice buildups that form on a rooftop due to the inherent temperature differences between heated spaces and roof overhangs.
[1] Naturally, some heat loss occurs through an attic. As even a small amount of heat passes through the attic space it warms the roof.
[2] Snow on the roof melts and runs under the insulating blanket of snow, until it reaches a cold section of the roof and freezes, beginning the formation of an ice dam.
[3] More snow melts and cannot drain properly. Snow melt water then gets trapped, creating standing water on the rooftop.
[4] Standing water then can enter a home or business by penetrating through roofing materials causing significant property damage
