You may think those icicles hanging from your roof are pretty but they are actually a symptom of a potentially damaging problem for your home. As snow melts from you roof either by the sun or heat escaping from the home it tends to refreeze at the edges and other juncture points of your roof. The refreezing of water has a damming effect creating an even bigger ice dam behind it.

So you have the perfect cool attic and are seeing no ice dams but mother nature and her snow making machine wont let up. This winter scenario could be even worse and it takes me back years to speaking with a client in Washington state

We have spoken with homeowners, who have lived in their homes for years without the slightest problem with snow or ice on their roofs or ice dams, that are surprised to learn that all of a sudden they need a snow roof rake.
