Then tie off the ends of the nylon stockings to complete their assembly.<\/span><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left;\" width=\"50%\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Then place the ice melts socks every 6 to 8 feet along the roof eaves with the ice dams. The ice melt socks should be placed perpendicular to the roof eaves and ice dams. In just minutes the ice dams begin to melt channels into the ice dams. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">As the channels are formed snow melt water from higher up on the roof begins to drain out the channels created by the ice melt socks, thus eliminating the threat of water damaged caused by ice dams.
