Stop Ice Dams Before Winter Arrives: Why Your Roof Needs De-Icing Cables
Winter in Central New York can be tough on your roof. ❄️ Before the snow and freezing temperatures arrive, now is the perfect time to install a roof de-icing system and help protect your home from costly ice dam damage.
🏠 Why Are Ice Dams a Problem?
Ice dams form when melting snow refreezes along your roof's edge, trapping water that can seep beneath shingles and damage ceilings, walls, insulation, and other parts of your home.
The costs can add up quickly. State Farm reported more than $806 million in paid claims for frozen-pipe and related water damage during the August 2022–August 2023 period, with average claims around $25,000. While this figure covers broader freeze-related water damage—not ice dams alone—it highlights how expensive winter water problems can become.
