Rochester Roof Heating Systems

Keeping your roof in good shape during New York winters is important. Roof pros recommend that homeowners inspect their roof and clean out gutters a couple times a year. While debris and wind accounts for some roof damage, the most common culprit that leads to roof and water damage is the ice dam. These persistent pests develop along roof eaves and prevent runoff. In fact, they not only prevent runoff, but they cause pools of water to store up behind a ridge of ice.

In many homes, small traces of heat escape from the living space into the attic where it warms the roof. As snow melts it trickles down to the eaves, but because no warmth reaches the eaves, the water can quickly refreeze. Over time, more runoff reaches the eave and soon a ridge of ice develops. As the ridge gets larger, more and more water tends to pool behind it. These sitting bodies of water are the number one enemy to roofs. Water can find its way into every tiny crack and crevice, and when it refreezes at night, the ice expands, threatening the integrity of roof shingles and nearby flashing.

While some residents try to cope with this menace with roof rakes, this isn’t the ideal solution. Rakes may damage the shingles, not to mention the physical demands and safety issues involved.

A simple, cost-effective solution can be to install a roof deicing system. This can consist of simple self-regulating heat cable zigzagged along the roof eaves, or an advance, low-voltage heating panel can be installed discreetly under the roof shingles. (It can also be installed to heat metal roofs.)
