This method may use up your hot water for awhile, so be sure everyone in the family has showered or bathed for the day before doing this.
Make sure you check the pantyhose in your gutters frequently—once the ice melts, you don’t want it to block the water from flowing.
Be careful about how hard you’re pounding the ice—you don’t want to tear your gutter off the house. This method is most effective for homes with PVC gutters.
If your gutters don’t have the proper slope, hire a professional to adjust them or fix them yourself.
