Ice Dams, Roof Damage, and A Roof Rake. What exactly is an ice dam? An ice dam is a wall of ice that forms at the edge of the roof; usually at the gutters or soffit and causes icicles. When it forms, the water from melting snow then backs up behind the ice dam and creates a standing pool of water that has no way to escape to the gutters. This pool of standing water can leak into your home and cause damage to walls, ceilings, insulation, attics, and other areas of your home. What causes ice dams? Ice dams are usually caused by improper ventilation in the attic and moisture. Moisture is transported to the attic from the heated portion of the home into the unheated attic space. It usually gets there via holes in the ceiling drywall that were created for lighting, vent pipes, and fans. The escaping warm air raises the temperature of the attic above 32 degrees, causing any snow on the roof to melt and run down to the colder roof edge, where it re-freezes and turns to ice. This process of thawing and refreezing is what causes an ice dam; and is also responsible for the long icicles hanging from the gutters on your home. And since the ice dam will trap any other snow melt into a pool of standing water that can cause significant damage to your roof and attic, you need to use a roof rake to eliminate the ice dams and remove the excess from your roof.
