This is no laughing matter to most of us in New England this year. Record snowfalls and ice dams have caused damages to roofs, gutters, insulation, ceilings, and interior walls. Removing snow from a roof and de-icing gutters is not an easy task and can require the work of a professional. The following article by Henry’s Housework, gives some insight into what these ice dams are and how to prepare your home for next winter.

The Ice-Melt-Sock
In doing further research on the subject, I came across this post from someone who had commented on this very same article on another website, and I had to share it. I think the Ice-Melt-Sock is ingenious!
“posted Nov 18, 2009 by “Sweetfilter”: If you live in the north you are going to get ice dams. The first thing to do when you have an ice dam is to open a channel in the ice to drain away the water and stop leaks into the house. A refillable snow melt sock or ice melt sock thrown on the roof and pulled into place will open a channel in minutes.”
