Passaic County Ice Dams | Battling Ice Dams During Winter
Use a roof rake during heavy snow: As mentioned earlier, ice dams happen quickly after a heavy snow because of the insulating properties of snow. Removing at least the lower 4 feet of snow from the roof edge, using a roof rake, can help prevent ice dams from forming. A roof rake is like a shovel that is turned on its side and has a very long handle, allowing you to safely pull snow off the roof while on the ground. Never get onto a roof to remove snow.
Calcium chloride or ice melt product: If you have an ice dam forming, you can apply calcium chloride or similar product to the ice. (Forget any urban legends you may have heard about putting salt in pantyhose; it does not work well, takes a lot more salt, and results in the pantyhose ripping apart).
