Ice Dams are back! Its been several years since the last occurrence but the conditions now are back. The ice frozen in the gutters ( often piled up to the top of the gutter) stays frozen while the snow on the roof melts from heat loss through the roofing materials. The water runs down to the frozen gutter and cant get off the roof. It backs up into the house and damages the walls or ceiling around the exterior of the home. This is an issue for your homeowners insurance to deal with. Get the ice taken out of the gutters or have them knocked down for now to release the water for now and prevent further infiltration into the home. we are closed for the winter and cannot assist in this effort
