Trusted General Contractors in West Jordan, UT

During the winter season, freezing and thawing cycles wreak havoc on your roof. As ice forms and builds up on your roof and along your gutters, ice dams begin to appear. Ice dams prevent a steady flow of water from passing through your rain gutters and downspouts, which leads to the water remaining stagnant in your gutters until they freeze and add to the ice dams. When the ice dams get large enough, water will flow over the sides and freeze, forming icicles. While they don’t look it, icicles can be very dangerous over walkways and porches. They can fall at any time and as they’re very sharp, they can impale anyone passing beneath them. Water flowing over ice dams out of the gutters can also fall onto walkways and steps, making them extra slippery and more difficult to walk steadily on. Luckily for you, there exists a special technology that minimizes ice dams and helps prevent excess ice in gutters and along your roof. Roof heat cables, also known as roof heat tape, are the perfect solution for all of your de-icing needs. They are attached to ice-prone areas like your roof along the gutters in a zigzag pattern that creates a path for roof water to flow continuously without freezing before it leaves the downspouts. At Rain Gutter Specialties we offer self-regulating roof heat cables that conserve energy while in use. These cables are made to adjust their heat output based on the temperature outside and on the surface of the roof.
