Building New? Reroofing?
Most builders and contractors aren't fully thinking about the winter and the need for heat tape, snow retention gutters, and drain pipes in the water, snow, and ice prone areas. We can work with you as you are building the home to plan and design a system that will work to save the hassle of adding those things in later.
Have an existing system?
Performing biannual inspections of your heat tape or snow retention system is a good way to ensure everything is functioning properly. We do cable and retention inspections, call us today and schedule an appointment.
consider the following.
generally, north and east sides of homes experience the most trouble with ice and snow
power limitations: heat tape can take a lot of energy, separate circuits are key, most average homes need at least 2.
add outlets/power near downspouts in the soffit, this makes it easier to run the cable and avoids installing excess or redundant heat tape.
all snow will slide of metal roofs as it warms up, consider protecting pathways, driveways, balconies, or gutters form sliding snow.
