Preventing ice dams is a three-pronged attack consisting of air sealing, ventilation and insulation. Ice dams may be caused by heat loss in an attic, a poor roof design or because of the “perfect storm” of snow, melting and more snow. We work to help prevent ice dams, not remove them. If you get one, for your own safety be sure to have a professional remove it. Click here to learn more about reducing ice dams.
