The key to preventing ice dams is good insulation in the attic particularly at the top of the exterior walls. The warm air from the house escapes and causes snow to melt but it freezes above the soffits causing a build up of ice at the edge of the roof.

Ice dams are caused by inadequate attic ventilation. That house has poor soffit venting, the pot vents and turbines, not turbins, are venting from each other. The attic temperature should be equal to the outside temperature. Unfortunately that was a temporary fix, those dams will just keep reoccurring until the ventilation issue is addressed.

As a cleaning professional high pressure and steam are not recommended on Ashfall shingles. Snow on your roof is just free installation and 100% of houses are built to code code that says they have to withstand snow load ...

Low pressure steam is used. Under 300psi. It's the safest and fastest way to remove ice dams. Does not harm shingles. Salt works, but it corrodes gutters & drip edge, can stain shingles.

No idea what an ice dam is and after watching this I'm pretty glad I live in Australia where it never gets anywhere near as cold as that.

That's water vapour as far as I know, but ok I guess it's possible but I never heard of it being referred to in this fashion before

Shouldn't they be salting their gutters? I've heard that improper eave venting (and attic insulation) causes ice dams.

Maxid1 you answered your own question. Insulation is most likely insufficient, but salt the gutters? Wtf!!! You ever see the sides of the roads in spring from salt?

Ice dams are caused by heat loss and proper venting would help but heat loss main cause.
