Why ice dams are a roof-and-building issue
Roof-edge ice is only part of the picture. Heat loss, attic insulation, ventilation, roof geometry, snow conditions, and outdoor temperatures can all influence how melting and refreezing occur.
Avoid hazardous removal
Working on icy roofs or using ladders around heavy snow and ice can be dangerous. Avoid methods that can damage roofing materials or create electrical hazards.
If water is entering
Active interior leaking should be addressed as a roofing problem, not just an ice-removal problem. See roof leak repair for next steps.
