Insulation in soffit area?

12/28/2004 10:24 AM JonathanGennick

I have a serious ice-dam problem on one side of my house. In looking around the attic, I see that the area above the soffits was completely filled in with some extra, blown-in insulation that was added some years ago by a previous owner. So far as I can tell, when the house was built, the area above the soffits was not insulated.

Is it possible that this blown-in fill in my soffit area is contributing to ice formation on my roof? If so, what's the best process to remove that blown-in insulation?
