Don’t Let Ice Dams Cause Damage To Your Property

Ice dams occur on sloping roofs following snow storms like what we experienced in the Maryland area this month. They can cause damage to walls, ceilings, insulation and other areas.

What is an Ice Dam?
An ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at the edge of a roof and prevents melting snow (water) from draining off the roof. If this cycle repeats over several days, the freezing snowmelt builds up and forms a dam of ice, behind which water ponds. The trapped water can back up under the roof covering and leak into the attic or along exterior walls.

Don’t Let Ice Dams Damage Your Home
Ice dams are often the result of inappropriate attic insulation and ventilation. Gutter Magic can also minimize the risk of ice damming and damage to gutters.
