Gigantic Icicles?

When rain gutters have water in them that freezes, ice can build up, and icicles can form over the edge of the gutter line. If the roof temperature is warm, water will run down the roof and form gigantic icicles that can grow to four to five feet in length! According to an article in the Denver Post, these large icicles can become heavy enough to pull down the rain gutter and cause property damage, so the article recommends cutting them off. SERVPRO^® of St. Clair Shores responds to water damage emergencies all year long in the St. Clair Shores area and has mitigated many forms of water damage. Here are some tips from the Denver Post to fix frozen rain gutters and downspouts:

• Install heating cables in the gutters and downspouts to keep them draining properly.
• Turn on the heating cables when the need arises.
• Turn them off when you see the gutters collecting and draining water.
