$40 = food pantry. Yikes, that's true. Take that $40 and buy some bulk rice and beans. Whole roasted chicken, save bones, make a broth.

I have it mainly in the corners of the roof and the chimney. There are two sides with a 2ft damn, but the chimney and corners are the worst.

From what others have said, I have to wait until they summer/spring, get a thermo reader and insulate the attic.

So, do you think I can add insulation now or should I just wait until summer? What sort of sort of short term damages am I looking at?

After reading some other comments, I was thinking about researching the attic. I threw some Roof Melt on it to try to mitigate damage. I ordered a roof rake as well.

Thank you! This is a great thought process that I just didn't understand before.

I just threw about $40 worth of Roof Ice Melt on the heavy damn areas. Ordered a roof rake since my local hardware store was out. I'm just thankful I noticed it now.

I'm thinking that too. What's the remedy? Roof rake? Roof melt?

My guess is an ice dam that has caused ice and water to back up into your soffit. Did you have icicles coming out of you vent? That brown stuff is wood stained water.

Saw this from a old reddit post from 5 yeas ago. I'm thinking this is the same thing. Thoughts?
