Do heated roof cables prevent ice damming?

• <div><p>Yes, and they do it exceptionally well. Heated roof cables have two purposes: melting snow and preventing ice buildup. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-causes-ice-dams.htm">Ice damming</a> <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-prevent-ice-dams.htm">happens when ice forms on the roof</a> (usually where the roof meets the gutter) and melts stubbornly slowly, causing moisture to enter the roof itself and, therefore, the home. </p></div>

Q: What can I use to melt ice on my wood deck?

• <div><p>Be careful when choosing a product to help you remove ice from your wood deck. Never use sand, gravel, or salt, since these items can damage and scratch the wood. Instead, look for chemical de-icers that are marked as safe for wood decks or use hot water to melt snow and ice.</p></div>

Q: Is ice dam removal covered by insurance?

• <div><p>You should check with your insurance provider, but generally, ice dam removal is not covered by insurance, as it&rsquo;s considered a preventable issue. However, damage from ice dams may be covered by your policy, including roof collapses. In the case of leaks, your belongings may or may not be covered. If you can&rsquo;t find specific information on ice dam removal in your policy, give the insurance company a call and find out.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to remove snow from my sidewalk and driveway?

• <div><p>In most municipalities, snow removal is compulsory in public spaces, including the sidewalk in front of your house, so you need to remove snow there. You could face fines for failure to clear your sidewalk in a timely manner&mdash;usually within 24 hours of the snowfall stopping. More importantly, your sidewalk needs to be safe for pedestrians to use, and you could face legal issues if someone slips on your sidewalk because you failed to clear it. Sidewalk removal services might seem expensive, but they&rsquo;re well worth it to avoid these issues.</p></div>

Q: Is there a minimum amount of snow required to use a snowblower?

• <div><p>There is no hard and fast rule about using a snowblower on a specific amount of inches, but most snow removal experts suggest using one on 2 or more inches of snow for best results. This will also depend on what type of surface you&rsquo;re working on and whether the snow is dry or wet. </p></div>
