-How do I keep ice out of my gutter?
To keep the damming process from forming, roof heat tape can be installed in the spring; however, a quick short term solution used to stop the process is to take a pantyhose and fill it with rock salt or a de-icer product and lay it vertically over the ice dam and into the gutter. This will melt a pathway for the water to drain off the roof and into or over the gutter which will keep the ice dam from building higher.
