Riverside Park Neighbourhood Overview

The area of Riverside Park is quite large, as it includes the expansive park from where it gets its name. The neighbourhood has a small-town feel surrounded by nature while still being close to the major arteries that can take you into the city. The park itself features a picturesque waterfront, gardens, and children’s play areas. It also serves as the community hub where major events are held, like Ribfest, New Year's fireworks displays, and the locally recognized floral clock.

What Icicles on Your Home’s Exterior Really Mean

February 27, 2025
Icicles hanging from the edge of a roof may look picturesque, but they can signal underlying issues that homeowners shouldn’t ignore. While they add a winter charm, icicles can be a sign of poor insulation, inadequate ventilation, and even potential damage to your home. If you’re seeing icicles forming along your roofline, here’s what you need to know. 1. The Link Between Icicles and Ice Dams Icicles often indicate the presence of ice dams, which form when heat from your home escapes through the attic and melts the snow on your roof. As the melted snow flows down and reaches the colder edges of the roof, it refreezes, forming ice dams that block proper drainage. Over time, this can cause water to back up under your shingles, leading to leaks, mold growth, and structural damage. 2. What Icicles Say About Your Home’s Insulation One of the main reasons icicles and ice dams form is inadequate attic insulation. If warm air from your home seeps into the attic, it raises the roof temperature and accelerates snowmelt. A well-insulated attic helps maintain a consistent roof temperature, reducing the chances of ice buildup. If you’re frequently noticing icicles, it may be time to inspect your insulation and seal any air leaks. 3. The Role of Ventilation in Preventing Icicles Proper attic ventilation plays a crucial role in preventing icicles. Good airflow helps regulate roof temperature by allowing cold air to enter while letting warm, trapped air escape. This balance prevents excessive snowmelt and ice formation. Soffit vents, ridge vents, and attic fans can all help improve ventilation and minimize icicle buildup. 4. Potential Damage Caused by Icicles While small icicles may not be an immediate concern, larger, heavier formations pose several risks: Roof Damage: Ice dams can lift shingles, allowing water to seep into your home. Gutter Issues: The added weight of ice can cause gutters to sag, pull away from the home, or even break entirely. Foundation Problems: When icicles melt, water can pool around your home’s foundation, increasing the risk of cracks and water intrusion. Safety Hazards: Falling icicles can be dangerous to people, pets, and landscaping. 5. How to Prevent Icicle Formation If icicles are forming on your home, consider these proactive steps: Improve Attic Insulation: Ensure your attic is properly insulated to keep warm air from escaping. Enhance Ventilation: Keep soffit and ridge vents clear and functioning to regulate roof temperature. Seal Air Leaks: Use caulk or weather stripping to seal gaps around recessed lighting, attic hatches, and other openings. Clean Your Gutters: Clogged gutters can contribute to ice buildup, so clear leaves and debris before winter. Use Roof Rakes: Removing excess snow from your roof with a roof rake can help prevent ice dams from forming. Final Thoughts Icicles may seem harmless, but they are often a warning sign of underlying issues with insulation, ventilation, and potential roof damage. By taking preventative measures now, you can protect your home from costly repairs and ensure a safer winter season. If you’re noticing frequent icicle formation, consider consulting a roofing professional to assess your home’s insulation and ventilation. If you’re looking to buy or sell a home this winter, paying attention to details like icicles can help you avoid future headaches!
