Ice dams don't start on the roof. They start in the attic.
When warm air escapes into the attic, it melts snow on the roof. That water runs down, refreezes at the cold edge and backs up under the shingles.
Grab a flashlight and check 3 things before the first snow:
1. Daylight or damp spots on the roof boards
2. Insulation pushed up against the soffit vents
3. Dark stains on rafters or insulation
See any of these? Our team can take a closer look and give you a documented report of what we find.

Save this for your next trip to the attic.
