Ice Dams
- on April 22, 2021
Ice Dams are nature's “impromptu” creation resting on the very edges of your roof, forming a big dam of ice and even spikes below. Why and how does this happen? How can we prevent this as much as possible?
A working gutter system makes sure that the house moves water and debris away from the house and prevents soil erosion. When the gutter clean up time comes, it gets serious. Some choose to pay someone to do this for them, others choose to do it themselves. Cleaning the gutters is easy as long as you have the tools and use them properly.
Gutters act as an outside plumbing system. They controls water flow and make sure that it never settles at the base of your house. Moisture also attract pests such as ants and termites, which could make your house a breeding ground and takes damage over time. Before setting up a gutter system, decide carefully on the material that you'll have for it. Decide if that will be installed by a professional or you can do it yourself, and whether you need sectional or seamless gutters.
Companies over time have been aiming to make a gutter system more flexible to the unpredictable weather. Whether it's strong rain, winds, intense heat from the sun and snow – it's hard to predict it at all. The house needs to be as tough as a castle – a place that can guarantee safety from virtually almost anything. It's essential that every bit of the house is in good condition whatever the situation is.
