Ice DamsWHAT IS AN “ICE DAM” AND WHY IS IT SO DANGEROUS FOR MY HOME?An “ice dam” is a winter time backup in your home’s gutter system that could allow water to seep under your roof, into your attic and down into the structure of your home. This can cause serious — and expensive — damage.
To deter ice dams from forming requires two steps. Believe it or not, it starts at the peak of your roof. A properly vented roof will keep attic temperatures balanced and help prevent the cycle of “freeze and thaw” that allows ice dams to form. An equally important step is to install a protective cover system for your gutters. This will keep debris out and help keep water flowing, preventing clogs and backups. G.F. Sprague can help you free your gutters of dangerous ice dams and take these preventive steps to keep them from reoccurring. Don’t let winter damage your home! Call us today for a FREE inspection and assessment to help prevent ice dams from causing structural damage to your home.
