A: Ice dams are a result of heat loss through your ceilings and into the attic.

Warm air travels up from inside the living space and melts snow.

The water from this melted snow travels down to the eaves where colder outside air causes it to freeze again forming a dam.

More water from melted snow builds up behind this "dam" sometimes making it's way up under the shingles and into your home.

Note: There are many ways to "treat" ice dams including using heat or chemicals to cause them to melt . These methods while effective and sometimes necessary in the short term to prevent further damage do not address the underlying problem (heat loss). Addressing this root problem with insulation and ventilation will not only prevent ice dams from happening , it will save you money over time by keeping valuable heat inside your home where it belongs.
