Can you guess from the photos which ones have adequate ventilation and a cold roof or which ones allow the heat to remain in the attic, causing ice dam problem potential?

SEE HOW THERE IS NO SNOW AT THE EXHAUST AREAS?

THIS HOUSE ALSO HAD 100% EAVE INTAKE VENTILATION PROVIDED FOR BY THE SMART VENT FROM DCI PRODUCTS INC.
THE RIDGE VENT BRAND IS THE SHINGLE VENT II FROM AIR VENT CORP.

So where are the pictures?

I have another home recently completed which has the Shingle Vent II Ridge Vent and the DCI Products, Smart Vent installed.

This one had a 12" snow fall on top of the roof.

If you enlarge the photos of the areas by the gutters, you will be able to make out the 7/8" high filtered portion of the Smart Vent Intake Ventilation System.

People unknowingly express concern about this detail, wondering if the vent will get clogged by ice and/or snow. This shows how the snow melt and potential ice damming effects are minimized.

For comparisons sake, I took a few photos of some neighbors roofs too.

NOTICE HOW THE SNOW IS ALL MELTED BY THE RIDGE VENT UP TO THE POINT WHERE THE SOFFIT OVERHANG IS? THE RIDGE VENTILATION PRODUCT IS STILL RUN ALL THE WAY TO THE END FOR CONTINUITY AND COSMETIC PURPOSES THOUGH.
