Take gutters off or leave them on???

[Jim Dannels]

If you want to keep the house, Keep the gutters.
Obviously there is a lot of water, it will run down the walls of your basement and eventually take out the foundation, kick in the walls etc.
No gutters and faulty gutter, along with not banking soil to cause runoff probably take out more basements than we will ever know.

Your current problem is deeper than what you can see. Its not that the gutters are damming up, its that the ice is working its way up under your shingles and starting to dammage your sub roof. Soon you will be seeing water spots on your ceilings if this problem isn't dealt with soon. BTDT

Well, I got about 80 % of the ice off of the gutters today. There is only about a 1 to 1 1/2 foot length of ice still hanging on the gutters. It is stuck very hard on them and I dont want to damage the gutters by forcing the ice off of them. It is supposed to warm up in a day or two , so I will try to losen the rest of the ice off then.

Thanks for all the replys.
