Did icicles form along your roofline this winter? Although they might look pretty, they can actually be quite dangerous and are usually an indication that your attic is lacking proper insulation and ventilation. Heat in your home rises, and without the proper insulation and ventilation, it causes snow or ice sitting on your roof to melt. It then refreezes as it trickles down your roof and over the side.

If you don't take action, this can damage your gutters, and if water is seeping between and under your shingles before refreezing, it also can damage your roof.

Rather than trying to solve the problem yourself, you're going to want to contact a certified professional like The Insulation Man to get the job done. They offer a number of insulation retrofit services that will not only get rid of this problem, but also make your home more comfortable, less drafty, and more energy efficient.

Delivering comfort and savings you can count on since 1989, The Insulation Man also provides a wide range of other services such as air sealing, energy audits, HVAC, and so much more. Give them a call today at 607-775-3035 or visit them online at insulationman.com to schedule a free consultation.
