Michigan Homeowners Encouraged to Take Action Against Winter Ice Dams

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - EntSun -- Winter weather in Michigan brings beauty—and risk. As snow accumulates on roofs, homeowners face the potential for ice dams, a common winter problem that can cause leaks, damaged insulation, and mold growth. Local roofing experts are urging homeowners to take preventative measures before ice dams form.

Ice dams occur when heat escapes from an attic, melting snow unevenly on the roof. The melted snow refreezes at the roof's edge, creating a thick layer of ice that traps water behind it. Over time, this trapped water can seep under shingles, causing significant damage.

To prevent ice dams, homeowners should focus on three key strategies:
● Improving Attic Insulation: Proper insulation keeps heat inside the home, reducing uneven snowmelt on the roof.
● Ensuring Proper Ventilation: Effective airflow through ridge vents and soffit vents maintains a consistent roof temperature, minimizing ice buildup.
