Property Refresh, a trusted home maintenance company serving the Chicago area, is urging homeowners to clean their gutters ahead of winter to prevent costly ice dams.

Chicago, IL, United States – December 18, 2024 /MarketersMEDIA/ —

Chicago, IL – December 17, 2024 – Property Refresh, a leading provider of home maintenance services in the Chicago area, is encouraging homeowners to ensure their gutters are thoroughly cleaned to prevent the formation of ice dams during the winter months. Ice dams not only pose a significant risk to homes but can also result in costly removal and repairs. For homeowners facing ice dam issues, Property Refresh also offers professional ice dam removal services to help mitigate winter damage.

Ice dams occur when snow on a roof melts due to heat escaping from the home and refreezes at the eaves, forming a solid ice ridge. This ridge traps water, preventing proper drainage and causing it to back up under shingles and into the home. Clogged gutters significantly worsen this problem by impeding water flow and increasing the likelihood of ice buildup.

“Ice dams are a major winter concern in the Chicago area, and homeowners are often unaware of how damaging—and expensive—they can be,” said George, the representative from Property Refresh. “Gutter cleaning is a simple, preventative step that can save homeowners thousands of dollars in repairs and ice dam removal costs. For those already facing ice dams, our team provides professional ice dam removal to restore safety and prevent further damage.”

The cost of repairing water damage caused by ice dams can quickly add up, ranging anywhere from a few hundred to thousands of dollars depending on the severity. In addition to structural damage to roofs, ceilings, walls, and insulation, water intrusion can lead to mold growth and compromised home integrity. Ice dam removal itself can also be costly, making preventative maintenance essential.

To help Chicago-area homeowners avoid these problems, Property Refresh offers professional gutter cleaning services to clear debris and ensure proper water flow. For situations where ice dams have already formed, Property Refresh provides safe and effective ice dam removal using professional methods that protect the home from additional harm.

Gutters should ideally be cleaned twice a year—in spring and fall—but Chicago homeowners are urged to prioritize this maintenance as winter begins. Signs that gutters need cleaning include water overflow, sagging gutters, stains on siding, and ice forming on or near the gutters.

In addition to gutter cleaning and ice dam removal, Property Refresh offers a range of home maintenance services, including window washing, power washing, and house cleaning, to keep homes safe and well-maintained year-round.
