During the severe winter, your ceiling may start to leak or hit you.
To prevent this from happening, you need to be aware of something.
When it snows, it usually snows in beautiful fluffy snowflakes.
These seemingly harmless tiny flakes can pile up until the snow goes from 1 feet to 4 feet deep, if the snow lazily goes straight.
If there is a strong wind like snow, it will usually be classified as blizzard, and the wind will cause the snow to drift to 12 feet deep.
Snowfall, even a lazy snowfall, did not form a depth on the ground;
It is built on a roof, even a sloping roof.
When the snow falls, or after, when it is still fluffy and powdery, it is the ideal time to brush the snow off the roof, however, few people venture up the roof in a snowstorm, this is something you will find on anyone\'s bucket list.
What about the snow on the roof?
The thaw/freeze cycle begins.
First, some of the heat inside your home escapes through a poorly insulated loft area and begins to melt snow on the roof.
The heated part of the melted snow water eavestrough top flows down.
The eaves are not above the heated part of your home, so it freezes when the water flows there.
In addition, the sun melts some snow on the roof, causing the same flow of water.
The sun will cause more snow to melt on the eaves and flow through the edges of eavestrough, beginning to form an ice column.
In the evening, the temperature dropped further below the freezing point, causing ice and snow to freeze even more.
The next day, the ice on the eaves froze and became thicker.
Depending on the temperature and snowfall, this daily/nightly cycle can last to ice on the eaves and eavestr (gutter)
If you are lucky, the gutter will collapse under weight and let the ice fall off the roof, the depth can be 2 to 3 feet.
As a matter of fact, some homeowners already know to deliberately take the ditch off to prevent the ditch from collapsing, thus losing the unfrozen snow.
If the ditch bears weight, more water will flow out of the roof and freeze.
When ice really becomes a problem
The making and laying of roof tiles makes it possible for the water to walk down the path with minimal resistance, to flow down, it is impossible to find the way under the tiles, to enter your house, except in the case of driving rain.
But, as the ice accumulates on your eaves, the unfrozen water cannot find a way out around or above the ice dam, and there is no other option except to flow under the roof tiles.
When water freezes, the ice forces the tiles to separate further, allowing more water to flow up and down the tiles and gather above the ceiling.
There are two options for water
If there is a slow thaw, it can penetrate into the ceiling by dripping water. 2)
It hits the ceiling during a quick thaw
May thaw in January?
If you see evidence of water stains spreading in the ceiling, grab a basin or bucket and a screwdriver before the water starts to penetrate, or just as the water starts to penetrate.
Place the bucket under a drop and push the screwdriver into the ceiling.
Yes, it is fierce and aggressive, but it will ensure that the water flows into the barrel (Your arm).
If you don\'t make a hole, the water may cross your ceiling and the weight may collapse the whole ceiling.
If the water starts to flow down through the electric device, another problem occurs.
The first thing you have to do is turn off the light and fix the switch with tape to make sure no one uses it;
It should not be used again until dry around April.
After handling the ceiling leak, most people try to climb up the roof and take the snow brush/shovel away.
What about the freezing snow on the eaves?
You can try to chop it up with an axe, hammer and chisel, but although you will remove a lot of ice, when you are too close to the tile to try any cuts or chisels, you will have to accept the fact that ice may end in your living room.
You can prevent ice cubes from piling up instead of going through the hard process of dry and wet furniture and carpets and dealing with paperwork for insurance companies.
Prevent damage to ICE 1)
You can install an ice/water shield.
Ice Shield is a relatively simple concept.
It is a 3 feet wide rubber film that does not dry, crack and seal around nails and other fasteners.
It is installed under a tile or wooden tile as a secondary protection.
The membrane is installed from the eaves and supports the roof 3 feet as this is the area most likely to flood and leak.
Some homeowners install ice shields on the entire roof before installing tiles;
Most professional roofing workers, however, condemn this practice as a meaningless waste of energy and time.
Also, if you have a cynical mindset, you might ask if the film will cover the entire roof, why bother with tiles?
But what you need to keep in mind is that the ice shield will put the manufacturer\'s name on it;
Tiles will look more attractive.
The best thing to do is cover 3 feet closest to the eaves, where there are ice dams.
There is also a Luo Xian who only installs shields 3 feet above the eaves?
The width of the shield is only 3 feet.
Heater element 2)
Install the heater element on the roof.
You can do it like a friend just did.
Icing cable on the roof.
This is a strange concept that requires some people to get used to the idea, but it works.
There are many different systems that can be used, from cables that can be installed on wooden tiles, bronze metal screens that can be installed under wooden tiles, and insulated hot tape, these hot tape are installed in the sink and downpipe to keep the water flowing.
The prices of different systems are negligible compared to houses flooded.
Needless to say, all systems are safe on wooden tiles, metal roofs, or tiles, and what they do is to prevent the ice dam from forming near eavestr.
All you have to do is plug in the cable and sit down and of course they have signed the death penalty knowing the leak.
You can say that this is a positive way to prevent leakage.
The cable can run at only cents a day, and of course you just need to use it during the freeze/thaw cycle.
When it comes to anti-icing or heating elements on the roof, there is another benefit, which prevents the growth of the ice column.
We all see how deadly the huge ice pillars are. Think about it.
By installing heating elements on the roof, you can save your life!
Most hardware stores have such arrangements.
Although it may be difficult for you to find them in Southern California or Florida.
The roof will never freeze.
This is another way to ensure that there is no ice dam on the roof;
In fact, this will ensure that you will never snow on the roof.

Designed for winter in Canada.
