What Is Ice Damming and Why It’s Dangerous
Ice damming happens when snow melts on the warmer upper part of your roof, refreezes in cold gutters and along the eaves, and builds up into heavy ice. That buildup can weigh down and tear gutters from the fascia, crack or break shingles and roof edges, and force water under roofing materials—leading to leaks, rot, and costly damage. Addressing ice damming quickly with professional repair and restoration helps prevent further harm to your gutters, roof, and home.
