A buildup of snow and ice in a roof's gutters can cause expensive damage. That's because the frozen liquid remains suspended in the structure, which can lead to bending, holes, rust, and, unfortunately, water leaks. To help prevent these dangerous scenarios, PermaThaw^® provides a gutter cover heating mechanism designed to melt away ice. As the area's exclusive distributor and installer of the system, Home Works Home Improvement in Long Island, NY, continues to help residents keep their properties safe and dry. 

3 PermaThaw Gutter Benefits

1. Provides Heat Infiltration

A special appliance contains cables installed within the gutter system. When turned on, the device emits low levels of heat to stop ice accumulation. The cables and the appliance are waterproof, fireproof, and safe and don't take a lot of time to heat up a gutter's interior spaces.

2. Prevents Ice Dams

Warm air in attics will typically cause the snow on rooftops to melt. As the meltdown occurs, snow slides downs the roof and eave, where it becomes cold again and refreezes. This repeated freezing might start a backup of ice and create a dam in the gutters. PermaThaw's heating systems stop the cycles and prevent dams from forming.

3. Keeps Gutters Flowing

The PermaThaw gutter cover method is versatile for each season. In the winter, the system melts away ice and snow. During the spring and summer, gutters are protected from leaves, twigs, rocks, and other debris. As leaves fall in the autumn season, there's no need to worry about an accumulation forming and blocking channels. Year-round, PermaThaw keeps gutters flowing and debris-free.

By properly maintaining a home's roof and gutter system, there's less of a chance for costly repairs or replacement.
