Ice damming season is around the corner!!  Are you ready for it?  It’s a multimillion dollar problem.  Do you even know what ice damming is?

Ice damming is the building of ice and water at the eaves of a sloped roof.  Melting snow on the roof refreezes at the roof overhang, which causes damming.

Homes or buildings with inadequate attic insulation or inadequate attic ventilation are very prone to ice damming.  Damage can be huge!!   Moisture can get inside your home or building and leak down walls, ceilings and floors.    The cost to fix it could be astronomical, especially if you are not there for several days during the time this happens.

How can you prevent this from happening?

At the MVR Agency our agents are experienced in educating you on how to prevent this phenomenon from happening, reducing the possibility of any claims during this time of year.  We can give you many inexpensive, helpful hints and give you an opportunity to review your homeowners insurance – Just in case.

Don’t let ice damming ruin a perfectly good winter!!
