I have brick ranch with a hip roof and a severe problem with ice damming and huge icicles. The ins. in the ceiling is installed wrong with vapor barrier toward the attic and it is only R-13 wall ins. I planned on flipping it over and adding a layer of R-30 unfaced. Would this be sufficient? I also have a chimmney for two wood burning fireplaces should I insulate that as well ? it seems the icicle problem gets worse when we use them alot, if so would I wrap it with a faced ins.? I've also added a ridge vent and planning on adding soffit vents all the way around. Thanks.Doug
