Water freezes into an ice dam.The dam grows as it is fed by melting snow above, but water held by the dam backs up and stays liquid.Eventually, the water finds cracks in the roof covering and flows into the attic from where it could seep through the ceiling and interior walls.A SIMPLE SOLUTIONTO AVOID COSTLY ICE DAMS
