Roof and Gutter Cables Can Help Prevent Roof Leaks
One way to help prevent the ice from building up is to install roof and gutter heater cables on the lower section of your roof. This will help keep the snow melted and prevent ice from building up in the first place.
One manufacturer of these products is EASYHEAT ADKS which makes roof de-icing cables.
EASYHEAT® ADKS roof de-icing cable.
Even in below freezing weather, snow on the roof will often thaw because of heat from the sun and heat loss from the house through the roof. As this melted snow reaches the roof overhang it refreezes. Here there is no heat loss so the roof surface is much colder. As this melted snow refreezes again and again on the roof overhang, an ice dam is formed. Soon water backs up under shingles, and leaks into the house.
EASYHEAT® ADKS roof de-icing cable prevents water and ice damage by providing a clear path for melting water. It keeps roof edges, gutters and downspouts ice-free. Versatile design adapts to most roof and gutter configurations.
It’s not those big icicles that do the real damage; it’s the ice you don’t see that backs up in gutters and under shingles. When the ice melts it can really do a number on repair costs. EasyHeat ADKS roof de-icing cable prevents this water and ice damage by providing a clear path for melting water to flow off the roof. The versatile design adapts to most roof and gutter configurations.
