  1. Roof & Gutter De-Icing

  2. Designing an IceStop System

  3. IceStop System Components

  4. How IceStop works • IceStop is meant to provide drain paths. • The path must be continuous.

  5. Paths Must be Continuous

  6. Roof Terms

  7. Ice.. Dam…

  8. Fort Drum, NY

  9. Cold Roof ?

  10. How an ice dam forms Standing Water Snow Cover Roof Surface Ice forming at roof edge

  11. Ice movement on a roof

  12. IceStop on the roof edge Snow Cover Snow Cover Snow Fence Snow Fence Drip loop extends over edge Wind Heating cable from roof should be attached to the run in the gutter to form a continuous path. Ice will build up on vertical surface if a gutter is not used.

  13. Design Steps • Determine the cable layout for the roof, gutters, and downspouts

  14. Heating cable on a shingled roof

  15. Heating Cable Details

  16. Design Steps • Determine the attachment methods you will use.
