Ice Dam Prevention

When homeowners in Central Illinois think about the winter months, ice dam prevention should be a strong consideration to keep your home dry. Many homeowners ask how does an ice dam form? Regardless of how your roof is shaped, snow will accumulate over time as storms come through the area.

As the warm air escapes your attic it will hit the snow before anything else, causing it to melt.

The accumulated snow and ice melts and flows down the roof to a cooler point – the edge of your home’s roof or gutters. It’s as this point that it can easily refreeze, creating an ice dam. Once ice builds up on the edge of your roof, the melting snow can’t drain off, eventually causing it to leak into your home.
