COURSE DESCRIPTION
Ice build up on roofs is a common problem during our Canadian winters. Some builders think ice damming is never warrantable. But Code and workmanship defects can trigger the warranty!
This workshop will give you the building science fundamentals that relate to ice damming. It will outline the Building Code requirements that you need to understand. It will show examples of workmanship defects that could lead to warranty coverage. It will also give examples of ice damming situations that are beyond the builder's control.
Join us for an interactive, engaging workshop. Arm yourself with the tools you need to navigate the demands of today's challenging home building marketplace.
