Torch to melt ice in gutters.

Simply put and ice melt system heats your gutters keeping that water from refreezing and causing mounds of ice. There are two options for heated gutter systems. I m talking about ice dams something that more suitably should have been called ice damns because they pretty much damn your roof to hell. Some gutters have seams in them that could possibly split apart and wreck your gutters they say using a blowtorch to melt away ice is actually burning more of a hole in your pocket.

The calcium chloride will eventually melt through the snow and ice and create a channel for water to flow down into the gutters or off the roof. If necessary use a long handled garden rake or hoe to push it into position. This roof de icing cable is not intended for use as a snow melting system to clear roof of ice and snow. The versatile design adapts to most roof and gutter configurations.

That is unless you have some ice dam removal skills. This product is intended for the sole use of preventing ice dams from forming on inclined roofs with tab shingles in gutters and downspouts.
