Retrofit to Prevent Ice Dams

There’s still a lot of winter to go in 2022. That means, the threat of ice dams continue to pose a threat to homes. A property owner in MA chose the Greenstamp team to retrofit their single-family home with sprayfoam insulation to prevent ice dams. Smart move!

 

Ice Dam Prevention

New England winters can be brutal, resulting in ice dams that damage not only roofs, but attics, ceilings and walls. Ice dams allow moisture to enter the home which leads to mold problems and other structural issues. In the last 10 years, Greenstamp insulated many home throughout the Boston-metro area and Cape Cod to prevent ice dams. We insulated this home featured above. In the first photo taken in 2010, ice dams are visible. In the photo, taken after the infamous 2015 “Snowmaggedon”, no ice dams have formed.
