The damage from ice dams is costly: rotting wood, structural compromise, water leaking into interior walls. The damage can't always be estimated without invasive research into the problem area. Repairs can require what most consider to be major construction work on a building.
However, proper insulation can prevent the damming. Often The Green Cocoon is called in after the damage is done, when an area of a building needs to be reconstructed as a result of layers of ice, built up over days - or weeks - soaking the lumber and adding considerable weight to the structure. If the weather is especially feisty as it has been in recent years, this happens too often. We would like to save you from the headache. We will assess your building free of charge, and install the right insulation to prevent the damage.
Above: photo highlights the ravages of an
under-insulated roof. Notice the ridges on the roof itself? What you see are the shingles settling over the rafters, with the roof boards rotting and collapsing under the weight of the accumulated snow. This is not good.
And, as the packed snow pack melts off, the ice dams; more structural problems occur.
