Ice dams typically form when:
- Heat escapes from the home and melts snow on the roof
- Melted snow runs down to the colder roof edges
- It freezes again, creating a solid block of ice
- Water backs up behind the ice and seeps into the home
This cycle is most common during sunny days and freezing nights, causing ongoing melting and refreezing that pushes water under shingles and into the attic, walls, and living spaces.
