        "text": "Ice dams typically form when snow on a warmer part of your roof melts, runs down to a colder eave or gutter, and refreezes. This cycle creates a barrier of ice that prevents further meltwater from draining off the roof, causing it to back up under shingles and into your home. Poor attic insulation, inadequate ventilation, and clogged gutters can contribute to uneven roof temperatures, which are key factors in ice dam formation.",
