Ice around vents on the overhang of the roof. Just based on this I'd say there is water getting into the soffit. If not, you wouldn't have an icicle at that point. Gotta be a n ice dam Bob

The roofers likely forgot to install ice shield under the shingles/tin roof.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I have a metal roof on a poorly insulated hundred year old house and don't experience ice damming. The roofing itself acts as its own drip edge. Is your roofing seamless from peak to eave?

A quick band aid fix I have done on a ice dammed roof. I filled long socks with rock salt and laid across the ice dam from the liquid water across the ice to the edge of roof. Melts through dam and lets water drain away. Then put a few fresh ones up there and they will last till spring meltdown.
you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

What is going through the roof old chimney,plumbing vent pipe, bathroom exhaust vent? Any ice built up on the roof eaves? Is the roof covered with snow?

Boco hit it. Ice blocker, ice shield not installed. If it’s not wrapped down onto the fascia water will migrate under the metal roof and find a way into the exterior wall and come out many feet into the house. “

I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

Vented soffit panels don't mean squat if there is no way for the air to get up to the ridge vent. Alot of older houses are sealed tight at the plate line.
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

ive been selling metal roofing for decades. low pitch roofing should have rope caulk installed at overlap. or standing seal used.
but the pictures do show ice damming and maybe no ice and water shield here in pa on low slope roofs we recommend it over the whole roof area

I’m with pudge also, lack of ventilation coupled with ice damming is a recipe for this issue. Get more air flow into your attic and it certainly won’t hurt.
