Murray, every year I have ice dams on my roof. Why does this happen and how do I stop it. It’s causing mold inside my home. I loved your radio show and I can't wait till you get back on. Thanks for all you help over the years. John, West Bloomfield, M
John, ice dams cause many thousands of dollars of damage for homeowners a year. To explain it simply, we must first understand when hot air rises it melts the snow on the roof and runs down to the eves and freezes, that’s when the problem starts with ice dames. I think it’s easier to show you on the PDF file I’ve posted. As you will see a lot of things are going on under your roofline. Good luck.

Will ice & water shield installed on my roof resolve my ice dam problems? Mark, Wayne, Mi
It may stop water intrusion caused by ice dams, however, the root cause is usually attic insulation and ventilation deficiencies. This problem left un-resolved can lead to water damage and an early roof replacement. - Murray
I have a flat roof on my building and it constantly has leaks. What type of roof system should I consider? - Ann of Berkley, MI
Bobson Construction has their exclusive Polybond Roof System guaranteed for 12 years. I have this roof on my own building and I just coated it with the new Elastromeric Coating which I know will make it last longer because it will protect it from the damaging UV rays from the sun. - Murray
My shingles are curling – Do I need a new roof? – Doris of Birmingham, MI
When shingles reach a certain age in their life the first sign of wear is curling or cupping. You should have a company inspect not only the shingles but the ventilation as well to see if the cause is the shingle or heat on the underside of the deck causing this to happen. If you call Bobson Construction at 248-357-1240 their inspectors would be more than glad to validate your problem and to give you a price on a new roof. –Murray
