Lion Flow Launches Website for Ice Dam Prevention

Ogden-based Lion Flow has launched a website dedicated to helping Northern Utah homeowners prevent ice dams with heat tape. The launch comes as homeowners in the region prepare for the winter season, which often brings freezing temperatures and heavy snowfall.

Founded by Zander Caffall, who has extensive experience in home remodeling and roofing, Lion Flow offers professional heat tape and ice dam prevention services across the Wasatch Front and Wasatch Back. The website provides homeowners with information on how heat tape can manage ice buildup along rooflines and details the company's professional installation services.

Ice dams form when snow melts during the day and refreezes at night, creating a barrier that pushes water under shingles, into decking and trusses, and eventually into ceilings and walls. Lion Flow’s website explains that full protection extends beyond the roofline, as meltwater still freezes inside untreated gutters and downspouts. The site also outlines the differences between professional systems and consumer-grade kits.

"We created the site to answer the questions homeowners often have and to give them a place to start," said Caffall. "Spring, summer, and fall are great times to install heat cable. The goal is to have the system in place before the ice ever forms."

Lion Flow recommends that homeowners request a free heat tape installation estimate, which begins with an on-site walkthrough of the eaves, rakes, and valleys. Prices are quoted after the inspection. The website, HeatTapeUtah.com, offers further information and is a valuable resource for those seeking to protect their homes from potential damage caused by ice dams.

Caffall emphasized the importance of timing in the installation process. "Timing is key," he said. "It's better to be prepared before the ice starts to form. This way, you can avoid costly repairs and water damage during the winter."

For those looking for professional heat tape installation in Ogden or the surrounding areas, Lion Flow is the go-to company. The launch of the website marks a convenient resource for homeowners to learn more about heat tape and to schedule their installations well in advance of the upcoming winter season.
