Heat from the house melts snow on the roof. The water runs down to the colder eaves and refreezes, building ice dams that can back water up under the roofing. Heat cable keeps a path open so meltwater can drain off the roof and through the gutters and downspouts.

What causes ice dams?
Heat from the house melts snow on the roof. The water runs down to the colder eaves and refreezes, building a ridge of ice that can back water up under the roofing.
Does heat cable stop ice dams?
Heat cable keeps drainage paths open so meltwater can get off the roof. It works best alongside good attic insulation and ventilation, which we can look at during the inspection.
Where does heat cable go?
Usually in a pattern along the roof edge, plus in valleys, gutters and downspouts where ice tends to build up. We lay it out for your roof.
Heat cable or snow retention?
They do different jobs. Heat cable keeps meltwater moving; snow retention keeps the snowpack from sliding. Many Utah roofs use both.
Ready when the snow is.
