Location
Birmingham, AL
Property Type
Two story residential home
Main Concern
Overflow and clogged gutters
What Was Installed
Gutter Helmet gutter protection
What Was Happening Before Installation
Leaves collecting along the roofline
Trees around the home dropped leaves, seed pods, and small twigs into the gutters during much of the year, with the worst buildup happening during seasonal changes.
Overflow during heavier storms
During stronger storms, water would spill over sections of the gutter instead of draining cleanly away from the roofline.
Constant gutter cleanouts
The homeowner was tired of having the same gutter cleaning problem come back every season.
What the Homeowner Wanted to Fix
Reduce the amount of debris building up in the gutters
Keep leaves and smaller debris from collecting in the gutter runs where clogs had been happening most often.
Help water move more consistently during rain
Help direct rainwater through the gutter system instead of over the edge near walkways, landscaping, and entry areas.
Cut down on seasonal gutter cleaning
Reduce the need for repeated ladder work and seasonal cleanouts to keep the gutters moving.
What Was Installed
Gutter protection on the problem runs
Gutter Helmet was installed along the gutter sections where leaves and overflow had been the biggest issue.
Installation tailored to the home’s roofline
The crew focused on the roofline areas where runoff and debris buildup had caused the most trouble for the homeowner.
Cleaner finished look along the roof edge
The completed system gave the roofline a clean, finished look while supporting the long term function the homeowner was looking for.
After the Installation
Less visible debris buildup
The gutter runs were no longer as exposed to the leaves and small debris that had been collecting there before.
Improved drainage during storms
The homeowner saw better control of roof runoff in the areas that had previously experienced the most visible overflow during storms.
Fewer gutter cleanings needed
With gutter protection in place, the home no longer depended on the same cycle of regular cleaning to keep the system working properly.
What the Homeowner Said
