WILL A ZIG-ZAG HEAT CABLE STOP ICE DAMS?

Ice Dams have been an enemy of homeowners and business for generations. They form over time and create a block. When this happens, water has nowhere to drain to and pools behind the blockage, eventually leaking into the structure.  Up until recently, Zig-Zag gutter heat cables have been the only way to control the ice from building up on roofs and in gutters. Although they are in wide use, they have proved unreliable, are dangerous and costly to operate. 

Zig-Zag Heat Cables have many disadvantages including:

  • Limited melting capabilities
  • Deteriorates quickly when exposed to the elements
  • Unsafe; if not properly cared for can create a fire hazard
  • Unsightly in appearance
  • Not energy efficient and very costly to operate
  • Uneven Zig-Zag configurations create ice dams
  • Maintenance intensive
  • Poor life expectancy of 1-2 years
