Sandpoint Realty Wednesday Word - Ice Dams

Sandpoint Realty ‘Wednesday Word’ Episode 3 shows the possibility of a hidden problem.  It in fact is hiding under one of the things we enjoy looking at during the Northern Idaho winter months. 

Ice Dams form at the edges of rooflines where the warmer temps from the house, and the freezing temperatures from outside meet.  Icicles form.  We enjoy looking at the beauty of the icicles glimmering and shining and are not aware of what is happening hidden behind all that beauty. 

Simply put water is backing up behind those ice dams and being forced the opposite direction it is meant to flow.  Crawling under composite roofing, metal roofing, seams.  From there it can work it’s way to many different places, none of which are meant to see water. 

Watch the short YouTube Video.  You will be surprised at the amount of water behind even a small ice dam.
