Ice Damming Photo Album: Poplar, WI Attic Insulation Prevents Ice Dams

Owners of this Poplar, WI home wanted to make their home more comfortable. Built in the late 1960s, they remember it always having a few issues with holding heat during the winter months. Ice dams would form on the roof and recently, one of their gutters was damaged in the spring thawing process. Not to mention, melting ice dams were causing water intrusion in their home, affecting the attic and the main level. Looking for a permanent solution, they contacted DBS for a free, no-obligation estimate for the work.DBS Design Specialist Henry Jungbauer visited the home and provided an inspection and thorough estimate for the attic insulation project. To prevent any leaking from ice dams in the future, Henry suggested air sealing the attic floor and re-insulating it. DBS Foreman Nick Woods II lead the attic insulation crew. The added Tru-Soft™ cellulose to the attic after air sealing, to provide a solid radiant barrier. This will, in turn, prevent warm air from escaping from the living space through the attic. This insulation method also prevents the space from heating up too much during the summer months.The homeowners were happy with the work our insulation crew did and now have a solid solution to stand up to cold Wisconsin winters.
