00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean the work is done. A different

00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: threat could be lurking on your roof and ice them.

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 2: It's when the snow it's forming on the bottom of

5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 2: the roof and then is blocking the trail of the

6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 2: water to get out of the roof, which should be

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: draining into the gutters. That is start to back up

8
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,640

Speaker 1: been busy this week checking out people's roofs for evidence

11
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 1: of ice dams. He says the dams can cause serious

12
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: damage to your home if not handled properly. He's seen kitchens,

13
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 1: bathrooms and more devastated by them. As for warning signs,

14
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: he says to look out for icicles forming on your

15
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: gutters and if you do notice them.

16
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: Don't wait for the water to get in the house.

17
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 2: Once the water is in the house, that means there's

18
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: already a lot of damage in the house.
