About

Located in Prince George, BC, Canada, we contend with the challenges of heavy snowfall during winter. The inspiration for The Best Dam Ice Melter stemmed from a troubling issue on our property involving ice dams. In these frigid conditions, our downspouts would solidify, causing water to accumulate on the roof and freeze, thereby inflicting damage to the roofing and allowing water to infiltrate our home.

My quest for a solution to rectify the problem after it had already occurred proved futile. The products I found were geared toward prevention rather than a remedy for existing issues. It was during this frustrating search that the concept for The Best Dam Ice Melter took shape. By devising a method to affix a roof de-icing cable to the outer surface of a frozen downspout with a insulating sheet and running the remainder of the cable along the eaves troughs, I successfully eliminated ice dams and thwarted their recurrence. Additionally, this approach streamlined the installation of the roof de-icing cable, eliminating the need to navigate it through the downspouts during installation.
