Heat Cable Installation

We specialize in installing heat cable on roofs and in gutters. Our state-of-the-art systems prevent ice from forming on the eaves of your roof. When ice forms, it blocks melting water from leaving your roof, this is called an ice dam. When this happens the water will likely get through the roof, damaging your home or business within.

Heat Cable Solutions for Ice Dam Prevention

Whether you call it heat tape, heat tracing, or heat cable, these terms all refer to the same essential product designed to combat ice dams. At our core, we provide Drexan heat cable, known for its flexibility and effectiveness in both pipe freeze protection and roof and gutter applications.

Homeowners often face the challenge of ice dams, with two main strategies for resolution:

Architectural Solutions: These involve structural modifications such as improved insulation, ventilation, and roofing systems. While effective, they can be costly, ranging from $10,000 to $40,000 or more.
Non-Architectural Solutions: A more affordable option, involving either constant manual roof shoveling or the installation of de-icing cables.

For those seeking a cost-effective yet reliable method to prevent ice dams, heat cables offer a practical solution. Heat cables provide a balanced approach to ice dam prevention, improving your home’s resilience against harsh winter conditions without the hefty price tag of architectural alterations.
