Preventative Medicine for your Roof this Winter

Last winter had a huge impact with ice damming causing home owners a lot of stress and money.  Heat tape is a powerful tool in preventing ice and snow from building up on the roof and halting proper drainage through your gutter system, leading to possible leaks.  

What is Heat tape?

Heat tape or heat cable is a coated electrical wire that can be installed along your roofs edge to prevent ice buildup in your gutters.

What is ice damming?

An ice dam is a ridge of ice that forms at the edge of a roof and prevents melting snow (water) from draining off the roof. The water that backs up behind the dam can leak into a home and cause damage to walls, ceilings, insulation, and other areas.  Ice damming can also be due to poor insulation in your home.
