Ice at the eave and why drainage matters
How gutters, the roof edge and winter water interact — without product promises.
Water has to leave the roof
Gutters and downspouts exist to conduct runoff away from siding, fascia and the foundation. When they fail, the house takes the water.
Ice is a system problem
Ice at the eave can push water under the covering. Drainage, insulation and the roof edge belong in one conversation. No gutter product on this site is promised to prevent ice dams.
After a storm or a thaw
Overflow, stains at the fascia and drips inside are reasons to request an inspection — not to climb a frozen edge.
