Winter brings its own set of challenges, especially for homeowners with shingle roofs. One of the most common but often overlooked threats is ice dams. If left untreated, they can cause serious damage to both your roof and your home. Here’s why it’s crucial to take action as soon as you spot ice dams forming.
What Are Ice Dams and How Do They Form?
Ice dams occur when melting snow on your roof refreezes at the edges, creating a barrier of ice. As more snow melts, the water has nowhere to go and backs up underneath your shingles, where it can leak into your home.
Why Should You Care About Ice Dams?
Prevent Costly Water Damage: Water trapped by ice dams can leak into your home, damaging ceilings, walls, insulation, and even electrical systems. These leaks can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and other expensive problems.
Protect the Integrity of Your Roof: Shingle roofs are designed to shed water, but ice dams put unnecessary pressure on your roof. This pressure can cause shingles to crack, lift, or even break, which can lead to more severe damage and the need for costly repairs.
Keep Your Home Safe: Besides roof damage, ice dams can create dangerous icicles that pose a risk to your family and pets. They can also lead to slippery walkways around your home, increasing the chance of slips and falls.
