About 3 seasons ago, we had a hellacious problem with ice damming
in gutters around here. I made a good bit of $$ going around and raking off
roofs, and removing the ice from the gutters.
We would rake the roof, and then put the Safe Step ice melter along
the gutter that was full of ice, with an extra "pile" over the downspout. Then
we'd go back in the truck for a while & warm up.
After 15-20 minutes, we would be able to come back to the gutters,
and where the ice melt had worked in, we could then chip out big chunks of ice,
leaves, and debris. If the down still looked plugged, we would either flush with
hot water or put more ice melt in it to loosen things up even
more.
It took a long time, but people were desperate to get this ice out
of their gutters at any cost. We also used portable propane torches on some, but
that didn't seem to go as fast.
