The Ice Dam Part 2
This is the ice dam as it looked this morning. Yesterday was spent clearing the snow. All the black area had 2 feet or more of snow. I used many pounds of calcium chloride and some judicious (I hope) chopping with a hatchet to open up drainage. I believe the water leak was caused by it backing up and entering the inside from around the vent stack on the right of this picture. I also tried to prevent a similar situation on the roof behind that is above my office.
