Roy Gutter Ice Removal
We clear ice from gutters and downspouts so meltwater can drain instead of backing up.
Gutter ice removal in Roy means clearing frozen buildup from gutters and downspouts before it backs up under shingles or pulls the gutter off the fascia. Washington Snow Removal, based in Bothell, WA, is licensed, bonded and insured.
Roy averages 6.2 in of snow per season, but it sees 42 freezing nights between October and April. Snow melts, refreezes and plugs the gutter. Call 206-809-9669 to request a quote. Pricing is by quote only.

How Gutter Ice Builds Up on Roy Homes
Roy does not get snow often. It averages 1.8 days a year with 1 in or more, and heavy-snow days of 4 in or more come around 0.18 times a year. The risk comes from the few storms that do hit, followed by cold nights.
The biggest storm since 2005 was Feb 11–15, 2021, with 15.4 in total and 7.1 in on its biggest day. Feb 5–6, 2017 brought 9.9 in, and Nov 22–23, 2010 brought 7.3 in. After storms like these, daytime melt runs into gutters and freezes again overnight. With 42 freezing nights from October to April, that cycle can repeat.
On a typical job, we look at the following:
- Ice packed in gutter runs and corners
- Frozen downspouts and outlets
- Icicles hanging over doors, walkways and driveways
- Gutter sections bent or pulled loose by the weight
We remove ice with care so we do not damage shingles, gutters or fascia. If a gutter looks damaged, we tell you what we see. Because every roofline and amount of buildup is different, we price by quote only. Call 206-809-9669 to get started.
