2015 Winter Snowfall Alert!
The significant snowfall we are experiencing can create real problems for our homes. Ice dams that accumulate on the edge of the roof can cause water back ups that do interior damage creating the need for expensive repairs.
This can easily be prevented by getting the snow off the overhanging eaves of the roof as quickly as possible. The ice dams form at the eaves because snow melts on the area of the roof where heat is escaping and then freezes in the cold when it gets out over the unheated eaves.
