The best way to prevent ice dams is to insulate the roof (or attic floor) so the heat from inside the home doesn't melt the snow -- which re-freezes at night, creating the ice dam. In cold climates, roofs or attics should be insulated to a level of at least R40 and have a vapor barrier installed.

Excellent Article!! I like the idea of heated cables and roof rakes to remove the snow from the roof. Also, for preventive measures we install Ice and water Shield underneath the roof shingles 30" up from the gutter and overlap and fasten to the wood fascia behind the gutter.

I agree with your idea, but the "heated cables" are sucking electricity from your home constantly when in use, so that would be costing you extra money. A roof rake is the way to go, but I think you are using the wrong kind. Check out www.avalanche-snow.com. They have a rake with a plastic slide material. You stand on the ground a push up, so then the snow comes of in chunks and won't hit you on the way down. It is better to stay off your roof entirely during the winter and you are not wasting electricity (money).
