Introduction:
If you live in the Midwest, out East, or anywhere it snows, you know how harsh winter can be. The jarring bite of cold air can cause your body to tremble and your limbs to go numb. To avoid damage to our bodies from these conditions, we prepare by buying winter apparel.
Why would we treat our homes any differently?
By planning and preparing for the snow and ice, we avoid the challenges that are brought on by the winter season. This is where NeverFreeze® self-regulating roof and gutter heating cables come in.
How Does Heating Cable for Gutters and Roofs Protect Your Home?
Long story short, it protects your home by preventing the buildup of snow and ice on your roof and gutters.
When the snow begins to fall, it can often accumulate quickly. This abrupt piling happens on your roof, but unlike a driveway or walkway, shoveling your roof is nearly impossible. Your only solution is to hope nature removes the snow for you.
However, with NeverFreeze® self-regulating roof and gutter heating cable, the accumulating snow will melt the moment it comes into contact with the heating cables and warmed up surface around them, leaving your roof and gutters safer than if they were not installed.
NeverFreeze® roof and gutter heating cables can also prevent ice accumulation on LeafGuard gutter systems. This ensures that the investment you made into upgrading your gutters to LeafGuard gutters is protected.
Trapped Moisture
Without NeverFreeze® self-regulating roof and gutter heating cables the stacked snow on your roof will quickly turn into ice. This ice will sit stagnant, weigh down your roof, and trap unwanted moisture. It will then wedge the shingles of your roof apart. Once this happens, water can travel through these cracks and damage your ceiling.
Alternatively, heavy snow loads can cause pressure on roof structures. When this happens, it is not uncommon for collapses to occur. Then, suddenly, all the snow that was piling onto your room will be piling up in your living room instead!
Ice in the Gutters
Ice in your gutters is a whole other issue. The natural cycle of daily warming and cooling causes melting and refreezing. When this happens, an ice dam will build up, preventing water from escaping your gutter system. You can find out more about ice dams by clicking here.
This translates to two problems.
First, water seeks to expand, and if the gutter is blocked, it will seek other avenues to spread. This includes vulnerable points in your roof where water can seep in and cause structural damage.
Secondly, an ice blockage inside your gutter is naturally heavy. All this additional weight can cause the gutter to break off from your home.
NeverFreeze® roof and gutter heating cable will prevent you from ever worrying about ice dams or broken gutters.
The Unforeseen Cost of Damage
The ultimate price to pay in the wake of these damages will not be financial, although it will cost you a pretty penny. The most profound consequences will be the loss of safety for you and your family. When your shelter, which is your shield from the outside, is compromised, the harsh weather becomes a more pressing and crucial danger.
Conclusion
You invest so much time, effort, money, and love into your home. It holds the things and the ones that you treasure most. By making an investment to safeguard the structure that holds your family together, you are not only protecting a roof and a gutter. You’re protecting your home, your family, and your peace of mind.
