What Is an Ice Dam?
An ice dam forms when heat escaping from your home causes snow on your roof to melt. As the melted water flows down toward the colder roof edges—such as the eaves or valleys—it refreezes and creates a ridge of ice. This ridge blocks proper drainage, trapping water behind it.
In many cases, inadequate attic insulation or poor ventilation leads to uneven roof temperatures, which accelerates the melting and refreezing cycle. When water has nowhere to go, it can seep beneath shingles and into the roof decking, eventually causing damage to ceilings, walls, and insulation inside your home.
Even a well-installed roofing system can leak when heavy ice buildup occurs. That’s why professional ice dam removal is often necessary to prevent expensive structural damage and interior water issues—especially during harsh winters in Albany, NY.
