Ice Dam Prevention


	Proper Ventilation & Insulation should be your first courses of action:	PROPER VENTILATION PREVENTS ICE DAMS (Please be patient - This Presentation will take a moment to load) VENTILATION IS THE IMPERATIVE

		Get the book that endeavors to explore the reasons for ice dams, problems inside the attic such as frost on the underside of the roof deck, icicles on the nails and causes for mold and mildew. Peeling paint on the exterior of the home is indicative of moisture problems emanating from the inside of the home. Homes built in the last 20 years probably have New Growth Wood makeup and may be more susceptible to accelerated wood deterioration. Ventilation is one avenue that should always be explored but only in the correct configuration. It is important to do it properly. Information contained in this book you will not find anywhere else.

		ICE & WATER UNDERLAY IS NOT THE ANSWER

		Yes, sometimes proper ventilation is very hard to achieve and circumstances necessitate powerful measures to guarantee results.

		Occasionally, there are circumstances where we must get proactive in our preventative measures to ensure that ice and snow dams at eave’s edge will not create blockages to the melting precipitation. To the left is just one of those situations. With zero intake ventilation available, this was a troubled hot spot on the roof. Ice and snow would melt very easily from this roof area because of the relative “dead” attic beneath it that supplied continuous warmth to the area. The problem arose every year as the melting precipitation met the cold scupper box and froze almost instantly. The ensuing blockage at roof’s eave would grow to exceed the roof slope and the influx of water was devastating. Solution: Electric Thermostatically Controlled, Hard Wired, Ice and Snow Melt System that prevents ice dams.
	Manual Switch provides peace of mind during warm weather so that the client can turn the system off.
		Copper Scupper Box (isolated from Aluminum Spout) provides the integrity of soldered valley splash base. Thermostat sits awaiting the cold weather to enable the ice and snow melt system that runs down the entire vertical of the downspout and back up the roof 36”.
