What to Watch For During Ice Dam Season

Ice dams often develop quietly, but they leave behind clear warning signs. If you notice any of the following, your home may be at risk of leaks or water damage.

  • Persistent icicles along the roofline – large or frequent icicles suggest melting snow isn’t draining properly and is refreezing at the eaves.
  • Ice forming at the gutter line or lower roof edge – even small amounts of ice can trap water and push it under your shingles.
  • Moisture or ice appearing around soffits or vents – a sign that water may already be backing up beneath the roofing system.
  • Icicles or ice sheets forming behind the gutter – indicates water is flowing in the wrong direction and getting under roofing materials.
  • Ice or water running down exterior siding – suggests water is escaping behind shingles or flashing.
  • Moisture showing up inside around windows or walls – stains, condensation, or frost can signal ice dam–related leaks.

Why Ice Dams Are Dangerous

  • Roof leaks and interior ceiling or wall damage
  • Mold, mildew, and insulation problems
  • Damage to shingles, gutters, fascia, and soffit
  • Heavy ice pulling gutters loose from the home
  • Dangerous icicles forming near walkways and entries
  • Structural stress from repetitive freeze–thaw cycles
