Prevent Ice Dams

Icicles hanging along the eaves of your house may look beautiful, but they spell trouble. That's because the same conditions that allow icicles to form—snow-covered roofs and freezing weather—also lead to ice dams: thick ridges of solid ice that build up along the eaves. Dams can tear off gutters, loosen shingles, and cause water to back up and pour into your house. When that happens, the results aren't pretty: peeling paint, warped floors, stained and sagging ceilings. Not to mention soggy insulation in the attic, which loses R-value and becomes a magnet for mold and mildew.

Many quick fixes for ice dams include climbing on your roof in the middle of winter, causing damage to your roof and potentially your self. Raking and shoveling ice and snow is extremely dangerous, whether one is standing on the roof or on the ground. Debris and shifting snow can fall unexpectedly. 

With HeatBarrier XP and it's 3 Pronged Approach, ice dams become a thing of the past. With proper insulation and the reduction of wasted heat in your attic, ice dams can be reduced and your peace of mind restored.
