Appreciate your comments, Alexander. I spent several years climbing telephone poles in all weather to hang drops and make cross-connects, so I'm well aware of standard operating procedures! The fact is moot, though, as I don't have a ladder of sufficient length to get onto the roof from the eave side (my only access is a bedroom window right above the peak).

I've called and left a message for a fellow advertising ice dam removal through the Home Depot Contractors setup... it'll be interesting to hear what HIS procedures are. Thanks to you fellows, I know the right questions to ask.

I'll keep you posted.
