Ice Dam Help
I know many are concerned with snow and ice on their roofs. The forecast for temps in the 30s will be producing some leaking into the interiors of some houses with ice dams. If you can't get up there to rake and shovel, or break up the dams, here's what you can do. Put calcium chloride (ice melt) into a woman's nylon, or a dampened paper bag. Softball size will work. Toss it up 1-3 ft above the dam. This will melt a relief channel down through the dam to give the water a place to go. Also been using smalll laundry bags and, yes, eel bags. Will take a while to work, but won't harm roof shingles. More than one channel is better. Good luck to all.....
