Ice Dams in Needham are common during winter and are usually caused by poor ventilation during heavy snow storms or severe winter weather. Ice dams will form around the edges of your roof and this is where water will freeze up, and acting as a road block on your roof, all other water is forced to stop behind the ice dam and will instead leak into your roof causing soft spots and leaks. This can cause a great deal of damage to the inside of an attic or even to the inside of your home.

You can easily brush off snow and water off of your roof with a simple push broom but it is always advised to be careful and always advised to contact a professional first before taking any action. Also, make sure not to pull or brush the snow with your broom directly across the roof as this is a danger to shingles and can break them or possibly do damages to below the shingles. It is not necessary to remove all of the ice but to chip a hole allowing water to flow freely through the ice blockage and the remaining ice will melt away once the temperature gets hot enough to melt it. Just remember to be careful on slippery surfaces or even with ladders in winter and always to contact a professional to get a second opinion when you’re dealing with roofing.
