Consider A Roof De-Icing System

This year's (and last year's) winter is unusually mild. But often Connecticut winters are severe, with large amounts of snow and ice that can last until late March. A new record was set in January 2011 when 59.8 inches of snow fell on the state. The massive snow accumulation in the 2010-2011 winter led to more than 500 roof collapses all over the state. However that winter’s 74 inches of snowfall was still undefeated by the 1995-1996 winter’s whopping 115 inches.

Substantial snow and ice accumulation on your roof increases the chances of leaks and mold. This can lead to internal building damage, including roof collapses. Falling icicles, besides being safety hazards, also pose a threat to roofs, gutters, and underlying decks. Roof de-icing systems prevent snow and ice buildup in moderate to heavy snowfalls. They are customized to address the most vulnerable areas of your roof and also prevent water from freezing in gutters. Roof de-icing systems are self-regulating, energy efficient, and easily installed.
