Fixing up the House by George Dalgleish electrical cables melt ice buildup on roof a problem encountered by Many homeowners is ice buildup on the roof. The ice usually concentrates along the a avs and in roof valleys. Serious damage Bui result if the buildup becomes too great. The dam age results from ice dams which prevent water irom running Down the roof but Force it up under the Shin Gles. The. Water then finds its Way into Aluc spaces where it can wet insulation. When enough water accumulates it can run Down the Interior of Walls or drip through the ceiling. Many Homes have been dam aged this Way and sometimes the repair and redecorating Bills have been costly. Occasionally when homeowners find water com ing through a ceiling or running Down a Wall they panic and Call a roofing contractor. If homeowners Are unaware of , they May be convinced by a contractor that the roof is defective. The contractor will temporarily repair the roof by removing the ice and suggest the Home would need a new roof in the Spring. The Homeowner May he conned into getting a new roof. If the roof is defective the problem will usually show up during summer Rains and not All of a sudden in. The dead of Winter. So be cautious of anyone who insists a new roof is required. Homeowners can remove the ice themselves or have a labourer do it. If Snow is removed soon after a Storrs the melting freezing process won t get a Chance to cause Large ice buildups. If ice buildup is constant installing electric ice melting cables on problem spots of a roof usually gives a permanent solution. Homeowners familiar with electrical installation could do the Job them selves others would do Best to Call an electrical con tractor. Usually it is necessary to provide. A plug is usually needed for the Cable or wiring into a switch and typing into the electrical distribution panel in the Home. Most areas require an electrical permit which can be obtained by the contractor or by the Homeowner from the authority having jurisdiction. The cables should be installed in eave troughs and downspouts As Well As on the roof. Where Down drains run into a basement the Cable should extend into the House at least five feet. Loading requirements for eave troughs and Down spouts depend on local conditions. Usually 15 Watts per foot of trough Are minimum. For the Edge of roofs and in valleys 35 Watts per Square foot Are sufficient with higher loads where Strong winds persist. The cables Are fastened usually to composition roofs with a suitable Metal plate to help distribute the heat. Other systems simply use a special Staple. Some cables Are Copper Clad others rubber Clad. The electrical current is switched on when icing conditions occur. A Pilot Light at the switch indicates when it s on.
