Ice Dams & Snow Build-up With all the recent snow we have had and with temperatures warming up over the next 10 days or so. It's important to watch out for ice dams from forming on your roof. One obvious sign of an ice dam are icicles forming in your eavestrough. When this happens, it prevents your eaves from moving the water off the roof. The water will then eiher flow over the ice and on to sidewalks and driveways. Causing a slip and fall hazard. Or worse, start to penetrate the soil around the foundation of your house. When this happens, the water will freeze and force pressure on the foundation walls. Potentially causing cracks or water penetration into the basement. Watch for the ice dams and make sure your downspouts are clear of ice and snow. This will keep water away from your foundation, basement windows, sidewalks and driveway.
