These dams prevent roof drainage and cause dangerous seepage that can threaten the integrity of the roof. Over time, water seepage into the home may cause mold and mildew, creating a serious health hazard.<\/p>\n\n<p>Ice is also hazardous to pipes on the outside or interior of the home. Frozen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.warmzone.com\/de-icing\/pipe-trace\/\">pipes<\/a> can burst and cause expensive water damage that can take months to repair.

Using self-regulating heat cable is an affordable option for protecting roofs by creating channels for the water runoff so that ice dams don&rsquo;t develop. Installing self-regulating heat cable in gutters also helps to ensure that heavy snow and ice doesn&rsquo;t accumulate and prevent runoff or cause damage to the gutters. Uniquely shaped roofs, trouble spots, or north-facing roof edges are also areas where cable installation can be particularly beneficial. <span class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"cmtt_ce0e1f1fead9edc4e49614c5bc4b15ba\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">Warmzone<\/span> carries several variants of heat cable so that customers are assured of finding the ideal solution for their specific roof de-icing needs. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Heat trace cable from <span class=\"glossaryLink\" aria-describedby=\"tt\" data-cmtooltip=\"cmtt_ce0e1f1fead9edc4e49614c5bc4b15ba\" data-gt-translate-attributes='[{\"attribute\":\"data-cmtooltip\", \"format\":\"html\"}]' tabindex=\"0\" role=\"link\">Warmzone<\/span> is not only efficient but versatile.
