^Thanks. They took out the drywall and insulation on that wall and there are signs of mold. So it's a bit like an onion - the more layers you peel off the more you'll discover.
But the restoration people said to be fair if you open up the wall on any house in Calgary you may find something not great (ie. past signs of water penetration)
Now waiting on insurance to get a roofer to go up and do a full report. They said there isnt much they can do for ice damming - is that true? Wouldnt you want to find the source and but some sort of stop gap in?
They mentioned heat tape for the roof edges which is a heated metal wire that goes along the edge and prevents ice damming, but it's something they only do in the spring/summer when the roof is clear. Does anyone have this?
