We have section of the house that get serious ice dams. The roof in that attic is not insulated. There's also no vents. I created some vents this week at the soffit (half dozen 2" holes) that go into the attic.
There's a single window near the apex, but no vents. And there are no soffit vents on the other side.
I'm thinking of venting the other side.
But ... what else? Do I run styro channels all the way up the roof and "over" to the new vent? Do I then pack insulation on top of the channels?
Or, so I just need to ensure that the 2" holes can flow freely into the room and then install a new vent over the window and then also install insulation on the roof?
I have no ridge vent.
I'm looking forward to your input! Thanks!
