Heated Gutters and Downspouts
A clear roof edge is only half the job. If the gutter and downspout stay frozen, the water still has nowhere to go.
Frozen Gutters Are Where It Starts
A gutter full of ice weighs hundreds of pounds, pulls away from the fascia and sends the next thaw straight over the edge or back under the shingles. Cable in the trough and down the downspout keeps a path open all winter. Here is what it protects:
Ice Is Heavier Than Your Gutters
Water weighs about eight pounds a gallon and ice does not drain. A full run of frozen gutter can tear the spikes or hangers straight out of the fascia board, and then you are paying for gutters and wood, not just cable:
- Two runs inside every gutter, one down each downspout
- Installs on the gutters you already have
A Clear Path All the Way to the Ground
Self-regulating cable keeps a melted channel open from the roof edge, through the gutter and all the way down the downspout, so meltwater never gets the chance to freeze into a dam:
- Installs on your existing roof and gutters
- Self-regulating — eases off as it warms up
- Roof edge, gutters and downspouts, all covered
What an Ice Dam Does to a House
This is what we get called out to every January — and what the cable is there to prevent. Watch how it works, then see the damage for yourself.

Been Through an Ice Dam Already?
If you have had water come through a ceiling once, you already know it does not stop on its own. Here is what we do differently for homeowners who have been through it.
We Look at Why It Happened
Before we quote cable, we check where the heat is getting out. If attic insulation or ventilation is the real problem, we will tell you that straight, even when it means a smaller job for us.
We Know the Insurance Side
We write insurance restoration work every week and can tell you whether what happened to your ceiling is likely a claim. Ask us on the call and we will tell you what we see on claims like yours.
We Are Here Next Winter
Same company, same phone number, same crews. If something is not right with the cable we installed, you call us and we come back out.
Rather just talk it through?Call and tell us what happened last winter. No forms, no sales pitch — we will tell you what we would do and roughly what it runs.
