Roof Heating vs. Ice Dams

February 08, 2010 00:02 AM  BY  AMY MORBY

The Battle You’re Sure to Never Lose

Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes warmer weather. While we’d all like to see the sun again, we don’t want those pesky ice dams to form on our roofs that can quickly turn a delightful spring into an expensive season of our discontent. Fortunately for all of us, radiant roof heat is here to keep our upcoming months pleasant and ice-dam-disaster free.

Radiant roof heating system in action.Ice dams are a common problem that often lead to catastrophic solutions. The good news, however, is that radiant roof heating systems are an easy and affordable option to prevent ice dams before they even start.

Ice dams occur when warmer weather or interior heat warms the heavy snowfall on your roof, leaving a pool of water under the feet of snow that quickly accumulates and starts leaking into your home.  Besides causing catastrophic water damage, these ice dams can also destroy your gutters, promote toxic mold growth, and potentially cause structural damage that’s sure to leave you with a headache. With so much on the line, it only makes sense to install a radiant roof heating system.

Radiant roof heat is the best way to stay ahead in the battle against ice dams. Warmzone offers a variety of roof heating solutions that are sure to keep your home safe from structural damage and your family safe from dangerous icicles. You can experience the benefits of a radiant roof heating system no matter what type of home you have—new or old. Additionally, our team will work with you to create a roof heating solution that’s catered specifically to you.

Don’t wait for the dam to break—install a radiant roof heating system now before it’s too late!

Icicles vs. Radiant Roof Heating

August 31, 2009 00:08 AM  BY  AMY MORBY

The Battle That the Pointy Menaces Will Never Win.

Icicles are a mainstay of the winter season. You can’t go anywhere in the cold winter months without seeing those frosty spectacles dangling precariously from gutters and roofs everywhere. They may seem harmless—maybe even iconic to the season—but icicles also pose a serious safety hazard for home and business owners everywhere. Luckily for you, radiant roof heat is here to eradicate these icy menaces.

Radiant heated roof.In 2007, an Eerie man was knocking icicles off his roof when one went rogue, pierced his rubber boot, and lodged itself in his foot. Crazy? Yes. Rare? Definitely. But it can happen.

If they’re not falling from great heights and piercing your feet, then icicles are wreaking havoc on your roof. Icicles lead to ice dams, which melt and then refreeze, getting bigger and bigger every time. When these dams melt, they can back into your attic, causing disastrous water damage. Ice dams can also get heavy, causing all kinds of strain on your gutters, drains, and downspouts.

Yes, icicles are a major bummer, but Warmzone’s roof heating options will help you and your home stay safe and icicle-free for years to come. Radiant roof heating is the latest and greatest way to prevent icicles and ice dams safely and efficiently. Fully-automated, radiant roof heating systems melt the snow on your roof quickly and efficiently with absolutely no effort from you. And the best part, staying ice dam-free can cost you less than $0.35 an hour for a 300-square-foot area.

So don’t chance a hole in your foot, a destroyed gutter, or thousands of dollars in water damage. Install your radiant roof heating system and banish those pesky icicles from your rooftop once and for all!
