What is an ice
dam:
Ice dams usually occur after a heavy snowfall and several days
of freezing temperatures. Warm air inside your home leaks into
the attic and will warm the underside of the roof causing snow
and ice on the roof to melt. The melted water will drain along
the roof, under the snow, until it reaches the cold overhang.
The overhang tends to be at the same temperature as the outdoors
and the melted water will refreeze and form an ice dam and icicles.
The ice dam can cause damage to the roof, which will result
in water leaks to the inside. Frequently the result will be
a water spot on the ceiling under the roof damage.
