Have you ever noticed icicles forming on your roof during winter? Yes, they might look pretty, but they could a sign of a bigger problem… Ice dams. These frozen ridges along your roofline forms when warm air from your attic melts snow, which then refreezes near the roof’s edge, causing water to back up under your shingles. This can lead to roof leaks, structural damage, and pretty expensive repairs.
How to prevent Ice Dams with proper Attic Ventilation?
- Seal Air Leaks: Stop warm air from escaping into the attic.
- Upgrade Insulation: Prevent heat transfer from your home to the attic.
- Improve Ventilation: Ensure airflow to regulate attic temperature.
- Clear Roof Snow: Use a roof rake to prevent buildup.
