Ask Enrique: how do you actually prevent ice dams before they cause damage?
This one's a little different. Enrique will be the first to admit that restoration work is his business, but he'd still rather see homeowners avoid the damage altogether than call him after the fact.
The last time Massachusetts saw ice dams this severe was 2015. It's happening again now, and most of the fix comes down to two things: proper attic insulation, and making sure your attic and any crawl spaces are well ventilated so they stay close to the same temperature as the outside air.
It's not glamorous advice. It's also the difference between a normal winter and an opened-up ceiling.
