Key Winter Checks for Homeowners
Look Out for Ice Dams on Your Roof
Ice dams form when heat from inside your home melts snow that refreezes at the edges, creating barriers that hold water.

You should address ice dams right away by adding attic insulation and improving airflow, as trapped water can leak under shingles and damage walls and ceilings inside.
