Reliable Heat Trace & Snow Melt Solutions for Safety and Efficiency.
Our heat trace and snow melt systems are designed to keep your property safe, accessible, and efficient — no matter the weather. From preventing ice buildup on roofs and gutters to clearing driveways and walkways, we provide tailored solutions that protect people, preserve property, and reduce maintenance costs all winter long.
Heat trace (or heat tape) is typically used on pipes, roofs, and gutters to prevent freezing or ice buildup.
Keeps pipes from freezing and bursting during extreme cold
Can be controlled by thermostats or sensors for energy efficiency.
Installed only where needed, such as exposed pipes, roof edges, or gutters
Once installed, requires little upkeep compared to mechanical alternatives
Can be added to new builds or retrofitted onto existing systems
There are two main types:
The system is usually controlled by a thermostat or sensor, so it automatically turns on when temperatures drop near freezing. This prevents frozen pipes, ice dams on roofs, and dangerous icicles or blockages in gutters
Heat trace (sometimes called heat tape or heating cable) works by running an electric heating cable along the length of a pipe, roof edge, or gutter. When powered, the cable generates heat that transfers directly to the surface it touches, keeping it above freezing.
Because the heat is applied directly where it’s needed, heat trace is efficient, reliable, and low-maintenance compared to other freeze protection methods.
Electric snow melting cables/mats are embedded in driveways, walkways, or ramps to automatically melt snow and ice.
Reduces slips, falls, and accidents by keeping surfaces clear of ice.
No need for shoveling, salting, or using snow blowers
Prevents damage caused by freeze-thaw cycles, salt, or harsh chemicals
Systems can sense temperature and moisture, turning on only when needed
Reduces the use of salt and chemicals that can harm landscaping and groundwater
Properly installed systems can last decades with minimal maintenance
The system typically works with automatic sensors that monitor both temperature and moisture.
Electric snow melting systems use heating cables or mats installed beneath concrete, asphalt, or pavers. When the system is activated, the cables warm the surface just enough to melt snow and ice as it falls, keeping the area clear and safe
Because the heat is distributed evenly across the surface, it prevents ice buildup, reduces the need for shoveling or salting, and protects driveways and walkways from freeze-thaw damage.

Heat trace is an electric cable system installed on pipes, roofs, or gutters to prevent freezing and ice buildup.
It’s an underground heating cable or mat installed in driveways, walkways, or ramps to automatically melt snow and ice.
On exposed water pipes, roof edges, gutters, downspouts, or anywhere freezing could cause damage or safety issues.
On driveways, walkways, stairs, parking pads, or wheelchair ramps—anywhere snow and ice create safety or access problems.
With proper installation, electric heating cables can last 20+ years with minimal maintenance.
Both can be installed in new builds or retrofitted into existing properties, though snow melting retrofits may require resurfacing driveways/walkways.
