How To Prevent Ice Dams From Forming On Your Roof

Damage caused by ice dams can be a major concern for homeowners during the winter season.

(firmenpresse) - Damage caused by ice dams can be a major concern for homeowners during the winter season. To prevent these sheets of ice from resulting in the need for costly repairs, there are several important things that can be done. One of the first steps that homeowners can take is to make sure that ice dam coverage is included on their home insurance policy.

This type of coverage may not always be included automatically, and it is often necessary to discuss it with an insurance broker. Before the cold weather sets in, homeowners can take some steps to ensure that their roofs are not the perfect breeding ground for ice dams. Gutters should be regularly cleared of fall leaves and other falling debris so that snow will be able to melt and drain easily.

Repairs to the insulation and ventilation in the home’s attic may also be necessary to prevent escaped heat from causing snow on the roof to melt. When snow begins to accumulate on the roof, homeowners will need to clear it every so often to prevent a large buildup. As a safety precaution, individuals should never go up onto a roof without another person nearby.

While snow is being raked off of the roof, the downspouts and gutters can also be checked for icicles that may have begun to form. This ice should be cleared away so that melting snow can drain properly. Because of the safety risks involved, many homeowners choose to hire professional roof cleaners to complete these tasks.
