What Is Ice Damming?

Indiana’s weather doesn’t always cooperate during the winter months. It’s cold and wet, and snowfall can lead to ice damming on our roofs.

But what is an ice dam?

You may have heard of it before or seen it on your roof. Water runs toward the edge when snow melts higher up on your roof. It then freezes again on the overhang or in your gutters.

This causes a blockage, which only amplifies the problem – then more melted snow runs down the roof into the already-formed ice dam.

Ice dams aren’t 100% preventable. Depending on your roof, ice dams may form in valleys, areas on the rooftop where roof lines come together.

Ice dams can become a serious issue for your gutters and roof. Ice dams prevent snow and water from naturally leaving your rooftop. And if your gutter system can’t help prevent ice dams, the gutters will become overfilled as ice builds up inside them as well.

Icicles Forming Outside Your Gutters

Open gutters allow all kinds of debris to enter. From leaves to snow to Nerf darts and everything in between, many things clog your gutters. But snow and ice put a heavy burden on them – one they may not be able to handle.

If snow and ice build up inside your gutters, they create blockages, preventing water from flowing through them to exit your roof. In addition, the added weight of the ice in your gutters can lead to their failure, including:

• Gutters can detach from the roof.
• Water infiltration.
• Roof damage.

How LeafX® Helps

Clemens Home Solutions offers the LeafX® gutter system because it has proven effective at protecting roofs and homes.

How does it help?

The LeafX® gutter system is built and installed to prevent the issues faced by lesser-quality gutter systems.

With LeafX®, preventing snow and ice from entering the gutter is a priority. So, gutter guards cover the openings, forcing snow and ice to build up on top of the gutter guards instead.

Don’t worry. This is a good thing.

As the snow and ice building up on top of the gutter guards melt, water can drip down into the gutters and flow away from your roof. This protects your gutters from the weight of the ice, which could damage your roofing system as a whole.

With LeafX®, your gutters will function better, and snow and ice will melt faster because it is not allowed to build up where it doesn’t belong.

In addition, you’ll likely see more icicles forming on your gutters – but remember, that’s a good thing.
