Ice Dams
Ice damming is a direct result of improper attic ventilation, exhaust ducting and insulation. Ice dams are formed when snow melts and freezes to ice at the edge of the roof.
Most roofers do not understand the full scientific concept of airflow, condensation, and drafts. You might find them standing in your back yard, looking up at the ice saying “Wow, this is some crazy winter!” or “I’ve never seen ice like this before!”.
However, when you call in the experts at Leak Stoppers, we can help resolve the issue while also answering questions like the following:
Why does my neighbor still have a roof full of snow and no ice, meanwhile I have ice in my gutters?
The ANSWER:
The primary concern is the internal temperature of your attic. Various factors, such as heat from leaking high hats, bathroom fans exhausting into the attic, leaking attic staircases, air conditioning ducts and heating units located in the attic, and heat radiating through insulation, all contribute to increasing the attic’s temperature. This elevated temperature is responsible for melting the snow.
Without adequate attic ventilation, the attic temperature can reach up to 50 degrees Fahrenheit on a 20-degree night. Even the best roofing systems, including ice/water shields and Lifetime roof systems, as well as the most experienced roofing companies, cannot prevent water intrusion if the ventilation and insulation are inadequate.
Whenever ice forms in the gutters, it is likely that the manufacturer’s warranty is void due to the warm attic. Issues such as flawed attic insulation, inadequate weather-stripping, bath moisture, and poor soffit venting are considered building code violations and are often cited in the limited warranty.
How We Eliminate Ice Damming
Leak Stoppers offers a comprehensive range of solutions to eliminate and prevent ice damming. Our methods include creating soffits for homes without overhangs, installing low-lying louvers, ridge vents, attic baffles, attic exhaust fans, Attic Access Door Tents, duct tape, and insulation to prevent ice formation.
These solutions are meticulously designed by Leak Stoppers, leveraging scientific principles and extensive experience to deliver long-term or permanent remedies for ice damming.
What do we do to protect from ice and provide our guarantee:
Along with prevention, we have installed thousands of miles of Weatherwatch and Weatherlock G ice/water shield to protect thousands of homes from possible ice damming in cases of extreme weather.
With proper use, these peal-and-stick bitumen membranes seal around our hot dipped galvanized nails after they pierce through tiles and underlayment creating an additional layer of protection.
