Why Ice Dams?

Why Ice Dams?
My answer is simple,  A New England problem, so move to a WARM CLIMATE is the simple answer. Giggle, Giggle!   So everyone who is staying in New England especially in our great state of New Hampshire you can solve the problem is many ways.

First understand we don't have severe snow NORMALLY in the winter, 20" one storm is severe.  The last few months were ABNORMAL.  Keep that in mind.  Folks who never had problems in the past DID have them during the last storms.  As I have stated in the last post, air sealing,  ventilation and insulation are the keys to getting control of ice dams.  Our firm, Queen City Remodeling offers a free inspection to identify the ways to correct your problems.  Simple method, get snow and ice off the roof RIGHT AWAY--Shovel it off!

A definite way to control Ice Dams is to add a Professional Roof and Gutter Deicing Cable System.  Not the cables that you find at the Big Box stores.  Those do not have the needed power wattage.  They don't work the right way nor are they ever installed the right way.    Our system has high grade heating elements, the durable materials provide excellent moisture, corrosion and impact protection with tough UV protection for the harsh NH conditions which can be plugged directly into your power receptacle or have a control system.  For details, feel free to contact us at  rick@queencityremodeling.com
By the way, this is a Green Simple Solution!

These ice problems will continue this winter and future winters.  Address the issue now!
