How Ice Dams Form

An ice dam is a buildup of ice and snow on the roof of houses where the shingles meet the gutter. Ice dams occur when warm air from inside a house reaches the attic due to lack of insulation. The air then warms the blanket of snow of your roof, which then melts and flows down to the gutter where it refreezes into an ice dam.

The snow continues to melt, however, and since it can’t penetrate the ice dam to drain out of the gutter, it can begin leaking into your house through shingles and cracks in the roof and eventually into the ceiling and walls. Along with structural damage, that water can produce mold, which can cause serious health problems for anyone inside the house.
