Ice Damming in Mansfield Center, CT

This homeowner was experiencing severe ice damming.  Ice damming occurs when heat from inside your attic warms the underside of your roof. This causes the snow and ice on the roof to melt. When the water hits the cold gutter and overhang, it refreezes and forms an ice dam and icicles. Ice damming causes a lot of damage to homes.  Our team went to work on this homeowner's attic.  We air sealed all the penetrations and tops of the walls with our 1-Part Expandable Polyeuranem Foam.  We blew our TruSoft Cellulose insulation to a Department of Energy recommendation of R-60, which is about 18 to 20 inches.  This attic is now properly air sealed and insulated.  The homeowner is very happy to no longer have to worry about ice dams!
