Ice Dams

Don’t get too eager to break up an ice dam, this can be very damaging to your roof.  Follow the guidelines listed below. 

- DO NOT remove snow from the roof on a regular basis or attempt to chip away the ice in the ice dam.  This will most likely cause damage to your shingles.

-DO NOT use hot water to try to melt the ice dam.  This may cause damage to your roof or walls. 

-NEVER install large mechanical equipment or water heaters in attics.  They increase the temperature in the attic.

- DO NOT use calcium chloride or salt to melt snow on your roof.  These are very corrosive chemicals and can cause damage to your metal gutters, downspouts and flashings.  The runoff may also cause damage to nearby plants and grass.

-DO keep your gutters clean of leaves.  This may not totally prevent ice dams from forming but will help keep the gutters from overflowing and spilling rainwater next to the house.
