When snow on the roof is melted by warm air in the attic, water runs down the roof and refreezes at the colder roof edges and gutters, forming ice dams. This refrozen water forms a barrier that obstructs gutter drainage, which can cause water buildup and damage.
The prevention of ice dams depends heavily on properly installed attic insulation. Attic insulation works as follows:
Temperature Management: Attic insulation forms a barrier that aids in temperature management within the attic. It helps maintain a lower attic temperature by minimizing heat transfer from your living space to the attic, preventing snow from melting on the roof.
Roof Temperature Consistency: Insulation keeps the entire roof surface at a more uniform temperature. This eliminates localized temperature differences from contributing to uneven snow melting and ice dam formation.
Air Sealing: Comfort 1st Insulation provides air sealing services in addition to insulation. Air sealing involves identifying and sealing holes, fissures, and additional sources of air leakage in the attic. Air sealing, by reducing warm air infiltration from your living space, complements insulation and minimizes the risk of ice dams.
