Ice Dams



This shows that the ice damming on the roof is making the water leak into the soffit and and through the wall. The icicles are coming out from behind the the shingles







The ice damming in this situation is created by insufficient insulation and venting in the attic and with no ice & water shield on the roof edge there was no barrier to keep the water out of the home.
