Icicles on the balcony under the gutter near the bird protection net?

Hi guys,

I've been living in a new apartment for a week. Since it’s more like a house, I think I’m in the right place here.

For days now, the temperature has been around minus 4 degrees. Day and night. In the kitchen, we have a large glass sliding door, actually an entire side, that leads to the balcony. The kitchen is the only room that is always quite cool; I don’t heat it.

However, for one day now, there has been the phenomenon that water is dripping outside from the roof. This of course freezes immediately on the balcony floor, which has led to an icy surface. And on top of that, icicles are forming. See pictures.

Can you tell me what this could be due to? It’s a pitched roof, but above the entire apartment there is still an attic without windows and heating, which is also quite cool.

I’m wondering first where the water is coming from with a closed roof and secondly why it is liquid at minus 4 degrees..

Best regards, Maddoc

morning,
I have already experienced that a vent pipe intended to lead the warm exhaust air from the bathroom over the roof to the outside was not properly connected and it was dripping steadily there. Do you still have a range hood that possibly leads upwards? Maybe it is simply snow that has been blown between the roof tiles due to your shallow roof pitch and then gradually melted there, dripping onto the underlay and finding its way down.

Hi, I don’t have a range hood. I was already up in the attic as well. Everything there is dry. The gutter is completely frozen and nothing is wet. And from the outside on the roof, you can’t see any thawed spots. I just got scared, more and more water is running down and the icicles are getting longer and longer... Help

Here are pictures from just now..
