Ice Dams Create Real Risks to People, Property, and Operations

Mar 17, 2026

Ice build-up on roofs and in drains can result in hazards for personnel and equipment during winter months. Processes that generate heat during winter conditions can often result in significant ice build-up over doorways and on roof lines that can cause structural damage.

We’re proud that Schafer Metals has been installing Drexan’s roof and gutter trace heating systems throughout Denver, CO. This leading OEM has chosen Drexan due to the outstanding reliability and performance of our Multitrace cables and connection systems.
