What Causes Ice Dams
Snow on that warm surface melts and water runs down to the unheated eaves, the cold surface, where it refreezes into an ice dam.
As more snow melts, water is trapped behind the ice and can back up under shingles, leading to leaks and damage.
Insulation, Ventilation and Air Sealing Prevent Ice Dams
Since winter 2025 to 2026 is here, it helps to refresh the key steps that make ice dam prevention work long term.
• Ventilation that moves cold outside air through the attic so the roof deck stays cold.
• Insulation in the ceiling below the attic that blocks heat from rising into the attic. Green Attic typically installs R-60 on traditional attic floors.
• Air sealing that closes gaps around pipes, wires, ducts and chimneys so warm air cannot leak into the attic.
Together, good ventilation, insulation and air sealing help stop ice dams and reduce energy bills.
