An ice dam is a wall or rim of ice that forms on the edges of a roof. The ice dam prevents water that has melted from draining off the roof. This pooled water can cause the roof to rot or let the water seep in to the house. This seepage can cause water damage to the roof itself as well as to the walls, insulation and ceiling of the house.
