Ice Dams: Why the Next Few Weeks Matter for Your Roof
With the amount of snow already on roofs across Simcoe County, we’re entering the most common ice-dam danger period of the winter.
As daytime temperatures begin to rise toward freezing and nights drop back below zero, snow on the upper roof melts and refreezes at the eaves. This creates ice dams that trap water and force it back under shingles — often leading to leaks inside walls, ceilings, soffits, and fascia.
❄️ Ice dams don’t usually cause problems during deep cold.
🌡️ They cause damage during melt–freeze cycles, which are expected in the coming weeks.
Signs to watch for:
• Large or growing icicles
• Thick ice along roof edges or in gutters
• Water stains inside near exterior walls
• Dripping or leaking during mild days
Preventative snow and ice removal can reduce the risk of water damage before it starts.
If you’re concerned about ice buildup on your roof, it’s best to address it before sustained melting begins.
