Heat Tape Installation in Park City Before Winter Hits

Nobody loves climbing a tall ladder to work at roofline height. But when a Park City home needs heat tape installed before the snow flies, that's exactly what we do. It's not glamorous work - but it matters.

Heat tape is one of the most practical things you can do for a mountain home. Park City gets heavy snowfall, and when that snow sits on your roof and melts unevenly, it refreezes at the eaves and gutters. That's how ice dams form. And ice dams cause water to back up under your shingles, into your walls, and eventually into your living space. It's a slow, expensive problem that most homeowners don't notice until the damage is already done.

The install requires working up at the roofline - running the heating cable along the gutters and into downspouts where ice tends to build up the worst. It's electrical work done at height, which means it needs to be done right. We use proper fall protection on the roof and make sure every connection is safe and weatherproof before we call it done.

If your home is in the Park City or Deer Valley area, this is worth putting on your fall checklist. Getting heat tape in place before the first big storm means you're not scrambling when temperatures drop. A little prep now saves a lot of headache - and potentially a lot of money - come January.
