During the harsh New Jersey winters, snow will inevitably pile up on your roof and form ice dams in your gutters. However predictable they may be, if you don’t address these problems, you might be faced with substantial water damage when temperatures begin to rise. That’s why the roof raking team at All County Window Cleaning recommends hiring professionals to clear away snow, remove ice dams, and clean your gutters. While you might be tempted to take on the job yourself, hiring specialists delivers far better results.

When they’re working properly, your gutters direct water away from your home. This is especially important during the winter when snow can build up on your roof. As it melts, you need to ensure the liquid can flow easily through your gutters. If it can’t, it will puddle and seep into your home, creating water damage and the need for expensive repairs. What’s worse, these roof leaks create the perfect breeding ground for mold growth.

Unfortunately, ice dams are bound to form in your gutters during the winter. They consist of large sections of ice which clog gutters and prevent water from flowing away from your house. Although you could try to break them up yourself, this process requires a trained hand and professional-level safety precautions.

If you hire a professional roof raking and gutter cleaning company, they’ll thoroughly remove the snow3 to 4 feet from your gutter line as well as identify the actual cause of the ice dam. That way, you can eradicate the problem and lessen the likelihood of water damage.
