Rain Gutter Heat Tape is an Essential Part of Any Home’s Gutter System in Eastern South Dakota
In eastern South Dakota, where the winters are as harsh as any, it’s not uncommon for mountains of snow to accumulate on the roof of a home—unless that home is outfitted with rain gutter heat tape, that is. However, this heat tape needs to be installed properly in order to work as it should, which is where the help of a local gutter company is needed. Fortunately, there’s only one name local homeowners rely on to enhance their gutter systems with rain gutter heat tape and other protective gutter products: LeafGuard of South Dakota.
How Does Rain Gutter Heat Tape Work?
Gutter heat tape is an integral gutter system component for any home that endures significant snowfall each winter. Without rain gutter heat tape running through your gutters, the snow that accumulates on your roof eventually makes it way to your gutters and turns back into ice, forming an ice dam where your gutters meet your roof. This can lead to serious problems such as roof leaks and the structure of your home being compromised. With rain gutter heat tape, snow is quickly melted and flows harmlessly through your gutters and away from your home without any incurred damage.
