A scattered hamlet on the Pinelands edge of Southampton Township. Simple roofs, real age, and a winter problem at the eaves.
Buddtown is a hamlet on the Pinelands edge of Southampton Township, along the roads that run between Vincentown and the pine country south of it. Sandy ground, scattered houses, a mix of older frame stock and postwar ranches sitting on large lots. Nothing about the place is dramatic and the roofs are mostly simple gables. What they do have is age, and a problem that shows up every winter at the eaves.
Ice damming is the recurring one. Snow melts over a warm attic, refreezes at the cold eave, and water backs up beneath the shingle. Ice-and-water membrane along the eaves and up the valleys stops it, and real soffit intake keeps the deck cold enough that less ice forms. Permits are filed with the Southampton Township construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code.

That is ice damming, and it is the most common winter call we get. Meltwater refreezes at the cold eave, builds a ridge of ice, and pooled water behind it works back under shingles that are only designed to shed downhill. The shingle can be sound and the water still gets in.
They manage it rather than solve it, and they cost money to run every winter. The underlying cause is warm air escaping into the attic and a cold eave, so the durable fixes are insulation, real soffit intake and ice-and-water membrane at the eaves. We would rather address the cause at replacement.
With the Southampton Township construction office, under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. Buddtown is a locality inside the township, not a municipality, so there is no separate office for it. We handle the application, post it on site, and meet the inspector ourselves.
No, though they hold the evidence. Gutters fill with ice because meltwater is already refreezing at the eave, and a clogged gutter makes it worse by holding standing water there. Clearing them helps, but the real work is at the underlayment and the attic airflow.
