In winter, trapped water freezes into ice dams that back up under shingles and cause interior leaks. A $150 cleaning prevents thousands in water damage repairs. (Serving Mississauga, Ontario.)

What's Included in Professional Eavestrough Cleaning

Ice dams form when heat escaping through the roof melts snow, which flows down and refreezes at the cold eaves. Clogged eavestroughs trap this water, which backs up under the first course of shingles and causes interior leaks — typically appearing on ceilings and around exterior walls in January and February. Keeping eavestroughs clear in late fall is one of the most effective and lowest-cost measures for preventing ice dam damage. (Serving Mississauga, Ontario.)
