When I was little I used to think the icicles hanging from the eaves of houses in the winter were so pretty. After I became a REALTOR I quickly learned that these can be a sign of insulation and/or ventilation problems in the attic of a home. This can lead to some real challenges for a homeowner. We’ve had some lovely mild weather recently in Edmonton which is great, however the mix of warming and cooling trends can lead to ice damming problems – a potential cause of roof leakage and structural damage.
The good news is, while ice dams can’t always be prevented, there are ways to reduce their impact. Learn more in this month’s e-newsletter from Housemaster Home Inspections!
Other topics this month include wood stove safety and how to save on your heating bill. These newsletters are always loaded with helpful tips for homeowners and we post them regularly on this blog.
