So what do you know about

Ice Dams?

 At least one of our clients called us and asked about a problem they were having with their house. The situation as they described it to us seemed to indicate they might have an “Ice Dam” on their roof.

 

Ice dams can cause damage to the roof, gutters, walls, ceilings, insulation and other areas.  They form at the edge of the roof and gutters and prevent snow melt from draining properly. In severe circumstances, the ice will even begin to back up under the shingles. It can become quite a serious situation!

 

We’ve found an article on ice dams on the University of Minnesota Extension web site. Check the attached link if you would like read more about this issue.

We referred our client to a handyman and he was able to take care of the problem. Should you need a referral, give us a call and we’ll provide you with contact details for people we’ve used successfully.

 

We hope you’ll find this information is beneficial! If you have other questions regarding your home, let us know. We would appreciate the opportunity to be of service.
