Ice dams are evidence of poor insulation. Heat is escaping through roof, and this causes snow to melt and make its way to the eaves. Water gathers, freezes and repeats. Once at the fascia, the heat loss in this area of the roof causes icicles due to the constant freezing and thawing of water.
An excessive buildup of ice can lead to water damage when warmer weather becomes consistent. By that time, the homeowner has surely felt the sting of their heating bills as well, as they’re essentially paying to heat the exterior of their home as well.
Only sufficient levels of insulation and proper venting can reduce these problems. A simple insulation consultation is the first step in solving your issues and allowing you to start saving money.
