What Ice and Snow Can Reveal About Your Home…
Have you noticed uneven snow melting patterns on your roof? Large icicles forming along your eaves? Dark spots where snow has melted while the rest of your roof remains covered?
These are warning signs of ice dams that can cause serious water damage and mold growth in your home.
Even if you live in a warmer climate where you only see frost occasionally, the signs I’m sharing in this video can help you identify heat loss and air leakage problems in your home before they lead to serious damage.
In this video, I walk you through real examples of ice dam warning signs and explain:
- How to read your roof’s snow patterns to identify air leakage
- Why those large icicles are a red flag, not just a pretty winter sight
- What normal vs. abnormal snow melt looks like
- Why steam cleaning ice dams can make water damage worse
- How to check for interior damage using simple tools
- When ice dam damage might be covered by insurance
- The connection between wet insulation and ongoing problems
Watch the full video to learn how to identify ice dam risks and protect your home from winter water damage.
