Gutter heating system eliminates ice dams
The Challenge
A colonial-style two-story municipal building in a Cleveland suburb was beset with build-ups of snow, ice and moisture in the gutters during the cold winter months. As a result, large icicles hung from the roof lines, posing a danger to pedestrians. The City wanted a roof and gutter heating system to alleviate the problem and they wanted the system to operate invisibly rather than via a traditional serpentine roof & heating cable pattern.
