🚨WARNING FREEZING RAIN🚨
1️⃣ Ice Dams Form at the Roof Edge
When freezing rain accumulates and temperatures fluctuate, thick ice forms along the edges of the roof. This blocks melting water from draining, forcing water under your shingles and into the roof deck.
2️⃣ Water Infiltration Under Shingles
Shingles are designed to shed water — not hold ice. When ice builds up, water can back up under the shingles, causing leaks, insulation damage, and mold in your attic.
3️⃣ Shingles Can Lift or Crack
As ice expands and contracts, it can lift, curl, or crack shingles, breaking the seal that protects your roof from wind and rain.
4️⃣ Structural Weight Stress
Heavy ice accumulation adds hundreds of extra pounds of weight, stressing the roof structure and potentially damaging weaker or older roofs.
5️⃣ Hidden Damage Appears Later
Often the roof looks fine after the storm — but weeks later homeowners start noticing:
• ceiling stains
• attic moisture
• mold
• loose shingles
