If you don’t have a big ice dam but still concern of water geting under the shingles you can try to remove the snow with a special roof shovel carefully no to damage the roof, no snow no more water for ice. Also you can throw some nylon sox full with calcium chloride secure it with a rope and arrange it vertically on ice dam especially by the down spot, the idea is to melt channels for the water to flow. Is not a optional rote since salt and shovel my damage the roof.
We suggest to consider insulation, air seal, baffles every rafter and additional solar fan to minimize the ice dam, It may not be completely prevented it due to roof structure and limited space for insulation near the soffits. If you don’t have at least 16″ of insulation minimum R49 then fill up the form and get on our schedule to insulate it. You also can send picture of your attic nr. of roof vents and bathroom fans for a faster estimate.
