A method of operating a monitored deicing system may comprise attempting, by a health monitor, to pass an electrical current through a signal wire disposed along a boot seam of a pneumatic deicer, evaluating, by the health monitor, a continuity of the signal wire in response to the electrical current, identifying, by the health monitor, that the signal wire lacks continuity in response to the evaluating, and determining, by the health monitor, that the boot seam has broken in response to the identification that the signal wire lacks continuity.
