We're the premier provider for ice dam prevention products in Wisconsin. We are the Wisconsin SOURCE for Bylin Engineered Systems ROOF ICE MELT SYSTEM™ products. The RIM products use a self regulating heat cable (also known as a heat tape) which is routed through an aluminum panel for maximum heat distribution. The panels increase the effectiveness of the heat cable by maximizing its efficiency. These systems can be installed as a retro-fit or on new construction. The heating cables systems are completely safe (UL and CSA listed) and effective at reducing or eliminating roof ice dams, valley ice dams or gutter ice dams. Our extensive experience with ice dam formation means we can design a system that can meet your requirements and budget.
New for 2012 - IceBlaster™ VersaScreen Heated Gutter Protection - Patent Pending Design. Economical and Efficient Four Season Gutter Protection. Minimize and Eliminate Ice Dams while keeping your gutters clean and free of leaves. See the Products page for more information!!!

Understanding Roof Ice Problems
Ice dams and icicles occur as a result of:
- Heat loss from the building
- Through insulation
- Through chimneys
- Through roof vents
- Winter temperature fluctuations – freeze/thaw cycles
- Solar heating during winter days with below freezing nights
- One or a combination of these factors contribute to ice dam formation
What Causes an Ice Dam?
The Winter process
- Winter storms build up snow on the roof.
- Heat from the building (through insulation, chimneys, and roof vents) and from the sun (solar gain) causes roof snowmelt.
- Melted snow runs down roof lines to valleys and eaves.
- The melted snow refreezes at the base of the valleys and at the roof eaves.
- As day/night time temperatures cycle up and down, the ice dams and icicles continue to grow.
- Icicles cause 'people and property safety' concerns and liability isssues.
Roof and Gutter Ice Dams
As roof snow accumulation increases, ice dam and icicle formation likewise increase. Subsequent water ponding can lead to roof leaks, internal building damage and possible mold issues. Falling icicles can create lower roof damage, deck damage and people safety issues. The problem can vary from year to year. Our solutions are directed at preventing ice dam and icicle formation through efficiently warming the eaves, valleys, gutters and other problem areas. The products we offer have proven successful through years of use.

Please visit our ice dam prevention products page to view the innovative roof and gutter ice dam prevention products available for solving your ice dam problems. You will notice that we do not offer the typical do-it-yourself heating cables or heat tape found at hardware and big box stores. These zig zag heat cables are not effective in eliminating ice dams. In fact, under some conditions, they can actually cause ice dams and icicle formations. The exposed heating cables are prone to damage from animals, falling debris, and being pulled off the roof. While many projects can safely and effectively be undertaken by homeowners, we recommend that you hire a contractor to tackle installing this Ice Dam Prevention System.
