Check for water.

Heating the inside of your home can also melt the snow and ice built up on your roof, causing water to flow and potentially seep inside cracks. Check your attic space for any water coming in.

One sign of roof damage caused by snow and ice is cracks in your ceiling. Take a look around the upstairs areas and in corners for any cracks or wet spots. These could lead to many worse problems later.

Check your ceilings.
