Description

Roofmelt ice dam melter helps prevent damage from ice dams. This 100% calcium chloride ice melter is effective and easy to use: while on the ground, simply toss tablets on the ice dam and let Roofmelt do the work. Roofmelt tablets melt through the ice dam down to the roof. Water drains safely from the roof to the ground, the pressure from the water under the ice dam is then eliminated.

How many pucks in the 14lb. tub?

Roofmelt Pellet Ice Dam Melter - 14 lb is rated 3.2 out of 5 by 43.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Roofmelter from Works if you know what to expect and how to use it [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I called Roofmelt's customer service, and learned that the right way to use Roofmelt is *not* according to the directions on the package. Throw three pucks just above the ice dam, every six or seven feet. Above 25 degrees Fahrenheit, these will need to be reapplied every one to two days. In colder temperatures, one only need reapply every three to four days. Roofmelt will *not* make the dam vanish. Instead, it melts the bond between the bottom of the dam and the roof, so that the water will drain out of the bottom of the dam. So, yes; Roofmelt works to prevent water from entering the wall, despite not making ice dams disappear.

Rated 5 out of 5 by mcc81091 from They work very well! This is my second season using them, my house is prone to ice damming. First I use a roof rake after a heavy snow, and then I toss the pucks up to the area I didn't rake. I also toss them up to the areas that I cannot reach with the roof rake. This has almost eliminated build up for the second year. It is important to use prior to the damming, although I have not tried them after damming it seems as though it would be more difficult to eliminate the problem. Also, be careful when tossing....follow the path of the puck because they sometimes roll off the roof and you need to get them out of the snow! Not a big deal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CWBM from Does the trick, works as good as anything I've use These work quite well at loosening and breaking up ice dams. It took several pucks in several spots to be effective, but then again I get really big and nasty ice dams due to poor insulation. The best way to use these is to place several in a few different spots to cut a place for the melting snow and ice to flow. It also loosens up large sections at a time so I was able to break large chunks of the dam after a few hours, letting me remove a complete dam in some sections. Just like any ice melt it's a consumable so it takes multiple applications just like your driveway as snow and ice melt and refreeze as temperatures change. All in all I'm quite pleased with the results, it's easier to use than the old ice melt in stockings trick I used to do and gives similar results. Until I re-insulate the attic, I'll keep using these.

Rated 1 out of 5 by DissatisfiedCustomer from Melts the ice if it doesn't roll off the roof! I purchased this product a few days ago, and attempted to place the pucks on my roof as close to the ice dam as possible. Some of the pucks melted a hole in the ice the same shape as the puck. All that was left was a white puck stuck on my roof. You can't toss or throw the pucks on the roof because they just roll off. Basically, you need the appropriate ladder tall enough to hand place the pucks on top of the ice dam. You are better off breaking up the pucks into small pieces, almost like regular rock salt. Bottom-line: I stll have ice dams three days later, but no pucks.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Kikimeow from Worst purchase ever made at Lowe's Product did not work. I threw about 10 discs up on the corner of my front door where I have significant ice build up and it just didn't touch it. Ice just kept building up and never melted a thing. Road Runner salt in a knee hi nylon stocking works MUCH better than this roofmelt and is a whole lot cheaper.

Rated 1 out of 5 by rdprosser from Didn't help Bought these to try and deal with an ice dam on my roof (which is what they are for) I didn't leave it to chance of chucking them from the ground - I went up on my ladder and evenly distributed (an entire bucket across 22 feet of roof) didn't see any evidence of them making the water tunnels under the ice and my roof ended up leaking. Do yourself a favor if you are desperate, by some ice melter and fill pantyhose with it to make "salty panty snakes" and lay them on your roof to melt channels. I did this and left them overnight and they melted right down to the shingles thru 6" thick of ice.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Berry from Don't just throw it on your roof! This product does melt the ice, but you cannot just throw it on your roof and expect all the ice to go away. You have to get the water to flow off of your roof, and once it starts to flow you have to get it down your gutters. My advise is to place them in your gutters on top of the ice, do not just throw them up on your roof expecting them to land just right. then place them in a row going up your roof. Again get the water to flow, make a channel on your roof. I use them to keep the gutters clear and then use calcium chloride socks to keep channels clear on my roof. the best solution is to get the snow off the edge of your roof, but it the ice gets there first, then use this product with calcium chloride socks.
