So I have water leaking pretty bad into my basement, I thought it was a pipe so I smash the ceiling open nope not a pipe. I go up to the kitchen and start to take stuff out of the cabinets dry as a bone then I look out the window yup water icicles coming from out of the eves, siding, you name it ice is coming out of it.

Now the question after I shovel the roof and get down to the ice is it ok to put salt or ice melt on the ice on the roof because I don't really want to chip it?
