How to prevent ice dams!?!
The phones are ringing off the hook for clearing snow off of roofs, due to ice dams.
If you want to prevent them, here’s how
This is the home of our founder, Colin. This is mostly new construction with basically zero heat loss, and incredible intake and exhaust venting.
But even with that, it’s still pivotal to keep two main spots clear!
1) The overhang and first foot of the roof covering the inside of the home(see how Colin cleared 3 foot, this section has 2 foot overhangs).
2) keep the ridge vent clear as well! Even if it’s only a foot or so, it keeps the vaccum open and gets the melting, hot air, out of the attic! This helps tremendously!
While you’re up there, be sure to clear your plumbing vent pipes as well!
Stay safe everyone and protect your home from those nasty ice dams! p
