Ice Damming

Ice Dam Prevention in York and Nearby Areas

Icicles

Icicles on the roof are a warning sign of insulation problems and ice dams.

Attic insulation and air sealing can help stop ice dams from forming

Ice dams are a common side effect of poor attic insulation during the winter, and icicles on the edge of your roof are an obvious warning sign. Ice dams can lead to damage to shingles and gutters, as well eventually cause roof leaks and water damage.

The process of ice dam formation

Heat loss from your home through your attic and roof makes the bottom layer of snow on the roof melt.
Melted water flows towards your gutters, where it reaches the cold eaves and gutters and refreezes.
Over time, more water flows down and freezes, creating what’s known as an ice dam.
Eventually, water will pool behind the dam, forcing its way under shingles and eventually into your attic, where it can cause serious damage.

How we can help prevent ice dams in your home

Air sealing: Every attic has air leakage through gaps and cracks that are created during the building process and home improvements. These spaces allow warm air to escape through your ceiling into the attic and through the roof. We can test your attic to identify air leaks and then provide air sealing with expanding foam. This will help eliminate the heat loss that leads to ice dams.
Insulation: When your attic is under-insulated, your home lacks a thermal barrier between your living space and your attic. Raising your attic insulation to recommended levels with blown cellulose insulation will ensure that your attic is not heated by your furnace, lessening the chance of ice dams forming on your roof.
