IES ICE DAMMING SOLUTION:
An IES home energy audit will show where the heat loss is occurring and the physical state, condition and depth of the attic insulation. The use of an infrared camera is an extremely
valuable tool in detecting misplaced, damaged and insufficient attic
insulation that a physical examination may not find.
ICE DAMMING PROBLEM | | | | |
|
|
 |
|
Contrary to popular belief, gutters âdo notâ cause ice dams. However, gutters can allow ice and water to concentrate at vulnerable roof-eaves areas, particularly if the gutters are not clear of debris.
|
|
As gutters fill with ice, they often bend and rip away from the house bringing down fascia, fasteners, and downspouts. Ice dams are ultimately a direct sign of heat loss. | | | |
