Ice dams are an attic problem, not a roof problem
Every winter we get called about leaks that a new roof would not have fixed.
Warm air escaping into the attic melts snow, which refreezes at the cold eaves.
The fix is insulation and ventilation, usually cheaper than a roof.
Heat cables treat the symptom. They work, and they run up your bill every winter.
