Helpful overview
How Heat Tape Protects Bozeman Properties
The main job of heat tape is to create help for ice-prone roof edges and safer melt paths. In Bozeman, that means checking ice-prone edges, safe melt paths, and electrical access and then connecting the fix to water routed away from walkways and garage aprons.
The scope should explain what will be checked, what will be corrected, and where the water should go after the work is complete. One local example is a steep roof plane that drops snowmelt into one outlet faster than the downspout can clear it.
