Our Roof Ice Melting Products - Efficient, Effective, Safe for Preventing Ice Dams and Dangerous Icicle Formations!
Roof Ice Melt 2 System - Designed for Wisconsin Roofs
A self-regulating heat cable is channeled into an aluminum base panel which is designed for maximum heat transfer. Each base panel is clad with 040 prefinished aluminum (UnaClad - over 30 colors or copper) to best compliment the colors of your home. We have many colors to choose from. When mounted to your roof eaves and/or valleys, our systems are designed to eliminate ice dams and snow build up in those areas, keeping your home safer and reducing risk of winter damage to your roof, home's interior and surrounding property. For more detailed information see the below files.
Roof Ice Melt System™ - Designed for Larger Snow / Ice Melting Requirements
The Original Roof Ice Melt System. This system is perfect for areas receiving snowfalls greater than 120 inches annually and snowfalls greater than 15" during winter storms. It is designed to handle mountain and lake effect snowfalls. It is also recommended for those who desire a system that can handle more difficult areas such as heavy drifting caused by dormers, valleys, and areas that receive and increased amount of meltwater run off. The RIM System operates with three runs of 12 watts/ft self-regulating heat cable. This provides superior ice and snow melting capabilites. Ice dams simply cannot form with this system.
Heating Cables
A Self-Regulating Heat Cable for Roof and Gutter Deicing. The roof heat cables control their own temperature through the core which slows the electrical flow as it warms to its desired temperature. Bylin Engineered Systems uses its own self-regulating heat cables. They customarily stock more than 200,000 feet of heat trace tape for fast shipment even in peak season. Unlike some heat trace cable manufacturers, Bylin's Heat Trace Cables are UL listed for both pipe trace and Roof and Gutter Deicing. They also carry the CSA (C,US) label meaning they are approved to handle the tough Canadian winters. This means peace of mind. 
Self regulating heat cables for roof and gutter are more efficient that the constant wattage heat cables (thin, round heat tape) found at the hardware store - these are typically used by homeowners who are willing to replace them season after season and put up with their ineffectiveness at solving ice dam problems both in gutters and on the roof. Their lack of efficiency and zig zag installation means spending up to 70% more to operate. Think how much more it costs to run those inefficient roof heat cables, month after month, year after year. Using Bylin's Self-Regulating Heat Cables will end up costing you less in the long run. For minor ice dam problems resulting from gutter ice build up, install the Bylin WFP or SRH heat cable in the gutter bottom combined with an aluminum cable cover bracket for maximum heat distribution.

IceBlaster™ VersaScreen Heated Gutter Protection
GSB Services, LLC (WI Ice Dam Solutions) is the exclusive source in Wisconsin for VersaScreen gutter protection products including the Patent Pending IceBlaster™ heated gutter guard. This innovative gutter screen (gutter protection, gutter cover, gutter guard, or gutter filter) is specifically designed to accept a self-regulating heat cable (roof heat cable or roof heat tape). The multiple location placement of self regulating heat cables make this heated gutter cover the most Versatile heated gutter guard on the market. 
This heated gutter protection provides an effective solution to the problem of ice dams and icicles forming on gutter screens, gutter helmets, and gutter filters. Often, the use of heat cables in conjunction with gutter leaf protection provides a great solution to ice dam problems. If the melted water is allowed to keep flowing it will not create an ice dam or icicles. Fill out the form on the Contact Us page for more information. We would be happy to design a system for you.
