ICE DAM PREVENTION TIPS
Icicles hanging from a roof look dazzling, but they can be a sign of Ice Dams. Ice Dams usually form after a heavy snowfall followed by freezing temps. HERE'S WHAT HAPPENS:
Warm air in your home reaches the attic & heats the underside of the roof, & snow & ice on it melt. The melted water drains down the roof UNTIL it reaches the COLD OVERHANG. The overhang is colder than the roof, as it hangs beyond the attic. The ice buildup here, prevents melted water from running off the roof. This can cause water to seep under shingles, into the attic, ceiling, & walls.
ICE DAMS CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE. IF UNTREATED THEY CAN
• Ruin attic insulation
• Loosen shingles
• Tear off gutters
• Stain ceilings and walls
• Cause paint to peel
• Ruin sheetrock
• Warp floors
• Lead to mold and mildew
TO PREVENT ICE DAMS FROM FORMING
• Clear gutters & Make sure your downspouts are functioning
• Insulate the attic. so warm air from below doesn’t reach the attic.
• Ensure proper ventilation. Good air flow helps keep the temp cold & prevents snow on the roof from melting.
Some tasks discussed are dangerous, so when in doubt, hire a Pro.
SAFETY TIPS TO FOLLOW IF AN ICE DAM FORMS
• Don’t go on the roof, it is slippery
• Don’t “chip” at ice from below. You could be injured falling ice or damage the shingles.
• To remove snow from roof, use long-handled broom or roof rake.
• To remove ice from roof, fill a old pair of nylon stockings with calcium chloride ice melt and lay them on top of the ice. It should melt the ice, creating a route for water to flow off the roof.

I learned a lot at this Winters Cape Cod Landscape Association Green Education & Expo. One class in particular, Safe Driver Safer Roads, taught by State Trooper, Christopher Kaszyk provided great info to help Commercial Vehicles stay safe on the roads. Some key takeaways from this class.

Texting, distracted driving is a huge cause of so many accidents. Massachusetts is a hands free state, meaning both hands must be free from phones, GPS, drinks, etc, and be on the wheel.

You should do a pre vehicle inspection every morning before you drive your Truck. Make sure tires are property inflated, brakes are working properly, leaf springs are all in good order, make sure to not overload GVW, etc. If you are in an accident in a commercial vehicle, but are not at fault but are in violation of properly inspecting equipment, you could still be liable.

Make sure all cargo, debris, and equipment is properly secured. Equipment falling off trucks because it is loose and unsecured is another major cause of accidents to other vehicles behind you.

Taking these steps to be a Safe driver and create Safer Roads will help you avoid insurance claims on your driving record, which is the best way to save money on your Commercial Auto Insurance, as well.
