Why am I getting Ice Damming
Experiencing in larger 1.5 and 2.5 storey homes in the Winnipeg region is a very common problem. With the recent vey cold weather we have been experiencing many homeowners are getting concerned with the severe ice dam that is forming on their properties. An area such as River Heights is very prone to ice dam formation.
Ice Dam Possible Solutions
When dealing with an ice dam we have many ways we can approach the problem.
- The first solution to this ice dam problem is to hire a professional Winnipeg Roofing contractor to come and remove the ice dam. This process requires a trained individual who can slowly remove the ice dam without causing any damage to the roofing system. Many homeowners when trying to go about ice dam removal by themselves find themselves causing much more damage than good to the overall problem by severally damaging the roofs integrity. Not to mention the increased safety concerns when an un trained homeowner steps onto a slippery roof to tend to the ice dam. Although this is the most cost effective solution to the problem it is only a temporary solution to your ice dam.
- Two things that cause ice damming are inadequate ventilation and insulation. So when it comes time to discuss with your Winnipeg Roofing contractor the possible solutions to your ice dam make sure you discuss both ventilation and insulation. Many older homes have poor insulation allowing warm air to enter into the attic space, which in turn melts the rooftop snow aiding in ice dam formation. The other factor is ventilation, when hot air enters into the attic due to poor insulation it often times becomes trapped due to poor ventilation. Your home must have proper ventilation to ensure air can flow freely from you intake vents and exhaust through vents near the ridge of your roof line.
How to Avoid an Ice Dam
Many homeowners have stumbled across a product called ice and water shield. Instantly upon hearing of this product get it in their head that it may be a great solution to their problem. Ice and water peel and stick membrane is a product that is designed to protect the eave edge of your property decking from ice dam formation and damage. This product is not designed to prevent an ice dam from forming but it adds protection to your home when one does form.
Cause of Ice Dam Formation
The cause of the ice damming is warm air intrusion into the knee-wall attics and roof system in your home. Warm air is able to gain entry into the attics and ceiling cavity in your home through an assortment of areas by a process known as the “Stack Effect.” That is simply a fancy name given to the normal forces that allow warm, moist air to rise into these areas.
Possible Prevention of Ice Dam Formation
In most homes this air contains a noteworthy amount of dissolved moisture, which can condense when cooled. If cold enough, this condensation may freeze and create a fair amount of frost inside the cavities. When the winter weather warms, this frost will melt and run back down into the living space. Also, the heat from the air leaking into these cavities will warm the underside of the roof sheathing, melting the snow on the roof and creating the ice dams. These dams can also melt when the weather warms and run back into the building, especially in homes with no overhanging eaves.
If you have any questions regarding ice dam formation dont hesitate to contact your Winnipeg Roofing specialist who can assist you in the process.
