If you are heating your home during winter warmth rises, which warms the shingles as well as any snow that may be on the roof. Due to the warm air melting the snow will melt and fall onto the colder parts of the roof. There, it will freeze into an ice. When the ice becomes thicker it will trigger another snowmelt to develop behind it. If there is a leakage points, the water will be able to seep through the shingles into the home. As the water cools and melts, the risk of a leak increasing. This is because it is able to get into the nooks and crevices of your home and then expands by freezing and then thawing. Winter can be a brutal time. The heavy snowfall and blizzards during one week may be followed by a plethora of sunshine and warm, comfortable temperatures the following week. The constant fluctuations in the winter’s weather make for a perfect environment for the formation of ice dams on commercial and residential properties.
The snow that accumulates is deposited on roofs commercial and residential structures melts, then freezes and then re-melts, melting snow and ice may get into the building, causing significant damage. The ice that is formed between the exterior and the interior surface of the roof creates a dam that causes meltwater to rise and then flow through the building. If the property owner has not had prior experience with dams made of ice this phenomenon could appear as a complete surprise. If snow melts unevenly on the roof, and then re-freezes into a dam on the roof’s edge, or near the eaves and eaves, an ice dam is formed. The dam prevents any further snow melt from draining away from the roof. The standing water may build up beneath shingles, spill into homes and cause significant damage to walls, ceilings and other parts. Ice dams can cause gutters to tear and shingles to fall off.
