A major concern
in prolonging and safeguarding your roof, especially in snow-belt
and mountain areas, is ice damming. Ice Dams are created when melting
snow freezes on the lower part of the roof, placing roof, walls,
ceilings, siding, gutters and down-spouts at risk for costly structural
damage.
Freezing occurs because the lower part of the roof is cooler than
the ridge area. A ridge vent system helps reduce the possibility
of ice damming since it delivers a constant flow of air that circulates
under the roof. Proper ventilation helps eliminate warmer upper
areas and cooler lower areas that create the thaw/re-freeze cycle.
