How Do You Fix A Roof Ice Dam?
Snow, snow and more snow. The temperature fluctuates up and down; the snow melts, then freezes, and more snow piles on top of your roof. While the resulting icicles may be pretty to look at, all that ice and snow along the perimeter of your roof edge is a problem waiting to happen.
