Ice dams may show up on your roof, but they’re not a roofing problem. They’re a sign that heat is escaping through your attic, melting snow and ice that drains along your roof and refreezes into icicles – or backs up under your shingles and into your house. Learn how ice dams form, and how comprehensive improvements from Evergreen Home Performance can stop the ice dam cycle.

• Eliminate the main cause of dangerous icicles. Falling icicles are a hazard to you and your guests and a threat to your gutters.
• Prevent water damage. Ice dams keep snowmelt on your roof, where it can back up under your shingles, rotting the roof deck and leaking in to damage your ceilings, walls, and more.
• Treat the problem, not the symptom. You can rake snow off your roof, install heat tape, or even replace your roof, but these short-term fixes won’t solve the problem. What you need is a complete separation between your heated living space and the attic, and air sealing and insulation are the key.
