ice melt for roofs

Ice dams occur when snow melts and refreezes on your roof, causing water to leak into your home. Ice dams are dangerous and can cause serious damage to your home, especially if they form on an older roof that isn’t in good condition. If you have an ice dam, you’ll want to get rid of it as soon as possible before it causes too much damage!

Safe Thaw - Best Ice Melt For Asphalt

Safe Thaw

Safe Thaw was created as the ice management solution for tough winter environments. Ideal in commercial and industrial properties, shops, government agencies, bridges, and construction.

Is There A Good Ice Melt For Roofs?

Roofs are made of different materials ranging from slate, asphalt shingles, clay and concrete tiles, composite shingles, and so on. There are several ice melt brands in the market; however, only a handful are safe for every surface. Safe Thaw introduced its revolutionary dual-patented 100% eco-friendly urea-modified ice melt for roofs to help homeowners from battling post-winter anxiety. It comprises glycol admixtures and contains unique surfactants that break the ice and convert it to brine as soon as it comes in contact. Most ice melt contain chloride (like road runner ice melt).

Safe Thaw is not only safe for the skin but also for our pets and kids.

Does Safe Thaw Work On An Ice Dam? 

Safe Thaw is designed to work on any surface and ice formation. From the thin layer on your concrete to the ice dams on the roof and in the Gutter, it effectively breaks down the icy surface and melts it.

How Does An Ice Dam Form In And Around The Gutter?

An ice dam is an ice formation on the edge of the roof of heated buildings resulting from melting snow. These ice dams further cause damage to the ceiling and roof by blocking the drainpipes, now allowing the melted water to flow down. Similarly, ice dams get formed around the Gutter if you still need to clear the Gutter of dried twigs and leaves or any debris from the fall.

How Can You Prevent An Ice Dam?

Before winter approaches, you must clear the debris on the roof and from the Gutter. You can use a rake to remove the debris from the roof and the Gutter, and the remaining leaves can be removed by using a power hose to water the Gutter down and clear it.

Before you think about a product and ask which will melt ice faster, consider the preparation.

More than 50% of homes complain of ice dam formation, but they need to realize they may still need to clear the roof and Gutter of debris.
