SPONSORED BY FLAGSTAFF HEAT TAPE
Stop Ice Dams Before They Start
It might feel early to think about winter, but now is the best time to prepare your home. Installing heat tape in the fall means crews can work safely in good weather—and you’ll be ready long before the first storm hits.
Why Heat Tape?
Ice dams form when melting snow refreezes at the roof edge, blocking gutters and forcing water into your home. The result? Leaks, damaged fascia, ruined drywall, and repairs that can cost thousands.
Heat tape keeps water moving where it should: off your roof and away from your home. This protects your home avoiding costly insurance claims.
Trusted Local Experts
Flagstaff Heat Tape is locally owned, licensed, bonded, and insured with an A-rating from the BBB. Our automatic systems are built to last and installed by a team that understands Flagstaff winters.
