Proper Attic Insulation Helps Avoid Icicles

Winter is definitely a challenging for all of us in the Kenosha area. Snowstorms followed by dangerously cold wind chills can lead to a beautiful assortment of icicles on nearly every home and building. While they are lovely to look at, icicles on your roof can be a warning sign.

Icicles form on residential gutter systems due to inadequate attic insulation. They are a symptom of ice dams, which can cause significant damage to your roof. Attics that are too warm cause snow on the roof to melt and flow down, forming into icicles.

Attics do take a beating throughout the year, especially in our part of the country. Heat rises up during the dry winter months and the sun beats down during the hot summer. Adequate insulation helps protect your home and helps eliminate ice dams.

You may not get rid of all icicles-and truth be told, they are a beautiful souvenir of Wisconsin winters, but insulating your attic with the team from Dick’s is an excellent investment. It helps protect your home and can provide cost savings on your heating and cooling bills. This is one project you shouldn’t put off.
