Get a roof rake. If you have over 4" of snow get it off the bottom 6' of roof . I make my living in insurance work. Believe me, this is the only sure cure.

Buchman say roof rake, that`s what they do way up north.
But you need some type of bottom vent to have a flow!
Mental roof will provent water back up DAM roof. But they can be loud, with rain or hail. And costly$$$$$

It's not the original roof, and I'll get some pictures tomorrow. I was thinking of putting in sofit vents just never got around to it  . I was also considering those gutterless rain/runoff diverter thingies (rainhandler I think they're called), the ones that look like some sort of stepped louvers. I think I'm heading up the ladder tomorrow to chip some more of the ice away. |

sounds like Hixvent or Hicksvent however it's spelled
ya put venting in and a flow of cold air under the roof sheathing can help keep the ice damns away, hixvent and ridgevent. Along with new roof with ice and water shield sticky membrane stuff. |

DON"T CHIP, you can break the shingles and create a bigger problem. Put some ice melter up there and create a place for the water to go and it won't back up under the shingles.

Thats the Ice and Water product that Slip mentioned. But it is an underlayment, not meant to be the exterior roofing by itself.
Here's a temporary fix when you already have a dam.... http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/skil...211604,00.html |

They don't have gutters, either  |
