How to stop a roof leak caused by ice dams using Roof Melt, a Roof Rake and a hammer! WARNING! DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! I am a professional and carry insurance to do this work. Borsellino Carpentry & Home Repair, LLC does not assume any liability if you attempt to do this yourself. Consult a professional....... But if you do, please be safe!!! These ice dams were at least 10 inches thick that were causing the melted snow to back up under the shingles and through the roof into my house! I spent around 5 hours from start to finish getting it all cleared and ready for more snow! Gotta love winter in Upstate New York!

Borsellino Carpentry is a construction company located in Upstate New York. I specialize in small residential remodeling jobs. This channel is dedicated to teaching other contractors, carpenters, small business owners, DIYers, weekend warriors and anyone else who just wants to learn a little bit about home improvement. The full name of the company is actually Borsellino Carpentry & Home Repair, LLC but that is just too much of a mouthful! I also do tool reviews, business tips and other contractor related videos on this channel. In the wintertime I even do snow plowing videos. I try to mix it up and show all the parts of the contracting job, not just the glorious finished product. Please leave me a comment and let me know if there's any specific topics or jobs you'd like me to cover. Thanks for watching!
