Ice Dam Buildups Brought to you by the ML Area Safety Committee ICE DAMS: Several quick fixes but only one cure. An Ice Dam is a hump of ice that forms at the edge of a roof under certain wintertime conditions. An ice dam can damage both your roof and the inside of your home. It will put gutters and downspouts at risk too. Ice Dams are a common sight in Northern New England winters, and Home Partners has dealt with quite a few. There are several things you can do to avoid getting an ice dam or to reduce the risk of damage after one has formed, but there’s really only one cure: a combination of better sealing, insulation, and venting in the attic and eaves. HOW DO ICE DAMS FORM? An ice dam forms when the roof over the attic gets warm enough to melt the underside of the layer of snow on the roof. The water trickles down between the layer of snow and the shingles until it reaches the eave of the roof, which stays cold because it extends beyond the side of the house. There, the water freezes, gradually growing into a mound of ice. The flatter the pitch of the roof, the easier it is for an ice dam to get a grip. Gutters at the eaves can also trap snow and ice. If snow and ice buildup high enough in the gutter, it can provide a foundation for an ice dam. WHAT DAMAGE DO ICE DAMS CAUSE? When an ice dam gets big enough, melted water backs up behind it and seeps underneath the shingles. Eventually, it will drip into the insulation and down into the ceilings and exterior walls beneath the eave, ruining sheetrock and paint. If the ice dam breaks free, it can pull shingles and gutters off with it, and it will damage anything it falls on: shrubs, windowsills, cars, pets, and people. If the roof sheathing stays wet, it can form mildew and start to rot. 4 The Madajimo ASSOCIATE NEWS Heart Health: Why Should You Care? What is Heart Disease? Heart disease occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle become hardened and narrowed due to buildup of plaque (accumulation of fat, cholesterol, and other substances) on the arteries’ inner walls. As plaque continues to build up, blood flow to the heart is reduced. A heart attack is when an artery becomes totally blocked with plaque, preventing oxygen and nutrients from getting to the heart. Other cardiovascular diseases include stroke, high blood pressure, and rheumatic heart disease. • Heart disease is the #1 killer of both men and women. It can affect you at all stages of life but people of middle age and older are at a higher risk. • Each year, 610,000 Americans die of heart disease, and approximately half of them are women. That’s 1 in every 4 deaths. • As early as age 45, a man’s risk of heart disease begins to rise significantly.
