2. Ice dams
• Ice dams are created when snow falls hits the roof and the
warmer temperature causes the snow to melt.
• The water runs of the roof and reaches the edge ,it freezes
the temperatures become colder.
• An ice dam occurs when water flow is blocked and redirects
back under shingles and into your home.

4. Snow on the roof
• When there is know on the roof and the roof’s outside
temperature is above 32degree F, the know will begin to melt.
• The water reaches its freezing point turns to ice, and each
successive flow of water causes the ice to get bigger and
bigger until it forms a dam blocking any more water from
flowing off the roof.
• This leads to damage to your home foundation.

6. Gutter System
• For most home owners gutters are the necessary evil in
protecting the homes from weather throughout the seasons.
• Gutter are important because they keep water away from the
house and they help in keeping the basement dry.
• It is important to maintain a gutter during winter.
• It is particularly important ,especially in regions that tend to
get into the sub-zero temperature.

8. Clean and free of debris
• It is necessary and important to keep the gutter clean and free
of debris, so when snow storm occurs ,you are off to a good
start.
• If we didn’t install the right gutter guard
(http://www.slideshare.net/danielvhenny/types-of-gutter-
guards-and-their-uses/),this is a fruitless effort .
• Nature is a part of life and its always finds the way into your
gutters.

and ice problems because they not only melt icicles , ice dams
and snow loads on the gutter.

keeping your gutter and roofs edge dry and worry free during
the winter.
• Before bad storms and freezing temperatures, make sure your
gutter and downspouts are free from potential clogs that will
create a dam.

11. Heated roof and gutter cables
• Self-regulated heat cables can be used within the existing
gutters and along the eves of the roof to prevent ice before
its solidifies on the roof and in the gutter.
• The heated cables radiate heat downward, creating a micro-
climate, helping to melt icicles, ice dams and snow loads in
the winter they do not interrupt the normal function of a
gutter guard.

13. Ice reduction by gutters
• A properly functioning gutter system is important in winter
seasons .
• When the snow falls on the roof melts, it needs to flow on
unobstructed into the gutters and out the downspouts.
