Roof Ice Melt Services in Greater Minneapolis

Prevent ice dams by installing a roof deicing system in Minnesota

Know the signs. Although you may think icicles are just part of winter, they actually indicate the presence of ice dams that can cause water damage to your roof.

When it snows in the winter, there is more to pay attention to than just the weight on your roof. If you have ice dams forming, clogged gutters, or roof leaks, your roof could be exposed to ice and water damage.

If you've noticed these symptoms in your home, consider a roof deicing system from Sela Gutter Connection. Our roof ice melt services will prevent ice dams from forming on your roof and causing leaks and damage to the shingles. If the dam builds up enough in the gutters, it can even cause your gutters to detach from your roof.

In addition to permanent deicing systems, we also offer professional steam services to safely remove existing ice dams and heavy ice buildup. Using low-pressure steam, we can melt ice without chipping or damaging shingles, flashing, or gutters. This method is ideal for restoring proper drainage before installing or servicing an ice melt system.

What are ice dams?

You've probably heard of ice dams before, but you may not know exactly what they are. Ice dams are formed when heat from the inside of your home cause snow on the roof to melt. The water flows down the slope of the roof, but freezes again when it reaches the cold eaves and gutters.

This process repeats all winter long, eventually causing ice dams to form. If you have ice dams, water will eventually be forced back under the shingles, causing roof damage, water damage, and potentially leading to leaks.

Roof deicing prevents ice dams from forming on your roof

If you have problems with ice damming in the winter, Sela Gutter Connection offers the roof ice melt system you need. There are two main types of roof deicing systems:

• Roof deicing cables: Deicing cables are a common solution that is easily installed on your roof. Generally seen in a wave pattern, these cables are simply secured to the roof just above the gutters. These systems can be tweaked to provide the right amount of heat for your needs, ensuring that water can easily flow down your roof and through your gutters.
• Radiant edge systems: Radiant edge systems are installed at the end of the roof and run along the entire edge of the roof. Once installed they melt the snow at the edge of the roof and ensure that water flowing down the roof stays melted as it passes through the gutters. These systems provide a cleaner appearance than cables.

For severe ice buildup or existing ice dams, steam removal can be used alongside deicing systems to create safe drainage channels and reduce the risk of water backing up under shingles. This combination approach helps protect your roof structure while improving the overall performance of your ice melt system.
