What Is an Ice Dam?
Ice dams may form when water from melting snow freezes into ice at the edge of your roofline. Without proper roof snow removal, the ice that develops may grow large enough to prevent water from melting snow from properly draining off the roof.
It happens by the snow melting further up the roof where the heat is, and when it melts underneath, it runs down to the edge and freezes.
After a while, more and more ice could build up and could freeze under almost any type of roofing material and cause leaking. Ice damming can cause serious damage to the entire structure of your roof.

FAQ
It is difficult to point out the amount of snow that does not pose a threat. In practice, a layer up to 2-3 inches thick exerts so little pressure on the roof that it is not necessary to call in specialists, but accumulating ice can be an alarm signal. The thicker the snow, the greater the risk of damage and can pose a danger to people around.
It happens that in case of continuous precipitation, it is necessary to remove the accumulated snow on a daily basis.
