Gutters do more than channel rainwater into your drainage system. They help preserve your home’s structural integrity by keeping your foundation free of water damage. However, they always attract leaves, pine needles, and other debris. When neglected, the clogged gutters may result in more serious issues that may compromise your home.
Investing in advanced gutter covers like Gutter Helmet® is a smart way to maintain your gutters in best condition. Here are four common signs that you need this type of system:
-
Frequent Clogging. Gutters normally require cleaning at least twice a year. However, a gutter guard would be more beneficial when you’re cleaning them more than usual. This can make your gutters virtually maintenance-free, allowing you to focus on your priorities. More importantly, this will keep you off the ladder.
-
Mold Growth. Leaking gutters can harbor mold growth on your fascia and eaves. This will compromise your home’s ventilation, affecting your roof’s performance. Furthermore, being exposed to it may aggravate your health conditions while cleaning the gutters. Gutter Helmet will prevent this in the first place by maintaining an unimpeded water flow into the downspouts.
-
Foundation Problem. Overflowing rainwater may pool around your foundation, causing damage. Cracks may begin to form, allowing water to seep into the basement. When you notice this problem, have a professional address it immediately.
-
Erosion. Water spilling over the sides of your gutters can erode your sidewalk and landscaping, which can be costly to replace. Aside from clogs, your gutters might have cracks or are improperly pitched. When you decide to install Gutter Helmet, we’ll clean, seal, and adjust your gutter systems, so you don’t have to worry about this problem again.
Gutter Helmet will contribute to your home’s protection by keeping your gutters clog-free. By applying the science of surface tension, its textured surface allows water to cling to the cover’s surface as it enters the system. Meanwhile, its unique nose-forward design will let debris to slide off the edge and fall harmlessly to the ground. Unlike ordinary gutter covers, it can handle twice the heaviest rainfall recorded in the country. It can also withstand the harshest conditions, thanks to its sturdy construction.
