Ice Dam Risk Check for Beverly, MA
A quick read on how likely roof snow is to back up under the shingles, based on the attic, the roof and what shows up after a storm.
Ice dam risk
A few risk factors. Watch the eaves after the next storm.
Check the number with a moisture meterEstimate only, built from typical local water losses. The real figure comes from an on-site moisture map.
How this estimate works
Ice dams form when heat escaping through the attic melts roof snow, and the meltwater refreezes at the colder eaves. The check weighs what drives that: attic insulation, venting, roof shape and the warning signs that follow a snowfall, then adds them into a simple risk tier.
It is a guide, not an inspection. If stains or drips are already showing upstairs, see ice dam water damage and call for a moisture check of the attic and top-floor walls.
