Icicles are hanging from the roof of a building in Central Virginia.
By Sean Baber January 2, 2025
To prevent ice dams and protect your roof this winter, focus on key areas like insulation, ventilation, and drainage. Ensure your attic is well-insulated to minimize heat loss, seal gaps with caulk, and maintain proper airflow to prevent uneven roof heating. Regularly clear snow and check for signs of water pooling or large icicles, which indicate potential ice dams. Keep gutters clean and consider installing gutter guards to ensure meltwater drains properly. For added protection, explore options like heated roof cables or panels. Stay informed about the weather to plan timely snow removal. Consulting with professional roofers can provide tailored solutions to keep your home safe and secure throughout the winter.
