Once again winter is upon us! While we all take time to admire the changing of the season we may not notice the danger forming right over our heads. Icicles. These icicles could come loose at any moment and come crashing down. Frozen spears have no regard for those below. Not only can these icicles fall and injure anyone below they can also tear off your gutter! Ice accumulation will increase your chances of your gutters being pulled away or even torn from the home due to the added weight. So what does this term winterizing your gutters mean? Well we will discuss briefly some things that you can do to help prevent those beautifully dangerous icicles from forming on your gutters. Before you invite your family and friends over for the holidays make sure to winterize your gutters.
We need to understand what causes these icicles to form in order to prevent it. The icicle formation is a result of ice damming. As snow accumulates on your roof it will build up with the natural slope of your roof. Heat rises in your home and escapes through your roof it will melt the snow that is closest to the top of the roof. As the snow melts it will run down the roof freezing as it reaches the edge of the roof due to the temperature being reduced to freezing by the accumulated snow. Ice will begin layering under the snow. Thus a barrier known as an ice dam will form. This ice dam is where the icicles come in. Progression of this process will cause accumulation of ice according to the natural slope, towards the gutters. Eventually forming icicles.
We are all familiar with that slightly uncomfortable feeling of walking under these frozen fingers of death. With no way to be certain if they will or will not fall we are left with a few options. We can play a winter version of Russian roulette every time we are going in or out of our home or, we can winterize our gutters. Here are some quick tips to help you winterize your gutters for the winter!
Check your gutters to make sure they are clear of debris. If the gutters can not drain water that is running down the roof edge then the water will inevitably freeze in your gutters. Adding weight and wear. Simply clean your gutters! It is often the simple solutions we tend to overlook. With our gutters free of debris the water can be drained away from your home. This will help prevent accumulation of ice. Hopefully we have been keeping our underground drain lines clean!
Our last tip would be to explore attic ventilation. At times the heat sources can travel through the attic itself. With no way to relocate these heat sources we are left with limited options. We recommend looking into attic ventilation. Allowing excess hot air that is accumulating in the attic to escape will prevent your roof from being caught in a fierce battle of hot and cold!

Recently, we did a segment on ABC 6 News about the importance of gutter cleaning, especially in fall months. The reason it ensuring your gutters are free and clear of debris before winter is because you want to ensure water can flow effortlessly through your gutters and downspouts. Any obstructions could cause the melting water to freeze within your gutter system and ultimately create an ice dam. Ice dams can be extremely damaging to the roof of your home, and can be very dangerous. We have fall gutter cleaning specials currently active, to ensure that each and every homeowner is protected this winter.

New Gutter Guard Installation
We had a few quotes and decided the product offered by Professional Gutter best matched our needs as we live in am area filled with trees…Rhino Gutter Guard was our choice for gutter covers over our new larger gutters. The installers were very professional and did an amazing job along with a great clean up before they left.We will need to wait for the next heavy rain to see how effective the new gutters and downspouts will be on the back of the house.When I replace the front gutters they will be my one and only call!

The average gutter installation cost varies depending on the city you live in, the price of materials, and the dependability of the gutter company. With a professional gutter company, there is a lot of overhead contributing into the price of installation. Legitimate companies must carry ALL the proper insurances and licenses to perform work on a customers home. Not carrying these insurances and licenses can be very risky for homeowners in need of gutter work. The reason being is if the employees working for that gutter company are not properly insured by the business, if they were injured on the job then, it becomes the homeowners responsibility. So if we factor in the amount of overhead it takes to carry all of these proper insurances and licenses, plus the man-power it takes to create an estimate, drive to the job site, perform the work, send the invoice, and receive the payment, we can now see why gutter installation costs are the way they are.
Working with a reputable company will ensure that you are getting the best price, plus, it will ensure peace of mind over the homeowner. Knowing that they are not responsible for any damages should be pretty relieving in itself. But, also knowing that the company stands behind all the work that they perform is quite a bargain.
We at Professional Gutter and Drain, believe that each and every homeowner is the most important customer we have. We believe that for each gutter installation, we need to ensure that there are no mistakes. If we do make a mistake, it is covered by our all work is guaranteed policy. Unlike most companies out there, we guarantee each of our gutter installations for 5 years. That means if there is anything wrong with the installation within the 5 years we will come back and fix the mistake. This guarantee of course does not cover ANY maintenance items such as; clogged gutters, weather damage, or any other damages.
