Roof/Wall Intersections
Roof/wall intersections can be treated in the same
manner as valleys. Snow has a tendency to collect at
this interface. Providing a loop of heating cable two-
thirds of the way up the slope will provide a path for
the extra melt water in this area to escape.

• Extend a loop of heating cable two-thirds of the
way up the slope adjacent to the wall.
• Position the closest heating cable approximately 2
to 3 inches (5 to 8 cm) from the wall. Position the
second heating cable 4 to 6 inches (10 to 16 cm)
from the first.
