5 Maintenance Steps to Prevent Ice Dams & Gutter Overflow

Protecting Your Eaves From Winter Freeze Cycles

Kentucky winter temperatures cycle rapidly across the freezing mark, creating prime conditions for ice dams when attic heat melts roof snow that re-freezes at uninsulated eaves.

Step 1: Clean Gutters & Downspouts

Ensure leaves and debris are completely cleared before the first hard freeze.

Step 2: Inspect Attic Insulation & Ventilation

Proper ridge and soffit ventilation prevents heat buildup in your attic space.
