Your gutters have an important job in your home. They redirect rainwater to your downspouts, leading it away from your foundation. Well-maintained gutters will protect your home from water damage and will perform well under nearly any weather conditions.
Clogged Gutter Problems
Clogged gutters overflow, and this can lead to stains on your siding, as the water washes over your home’s exterior. The rainwater also splashes back onto your roof, seeping underneath your shingles and damaging the underlayment. Since water can’t flow into your gutters, it pools on top of your roof and puts pressure on it. This can lead to roof leaks.
Once rainwater hits the ground, it can oversaturate the soil surrounding your foundation. This pits a lot of pressure on the side of your home, leading to cracks. Moisture can invade these cracks and cause mold growth in your basement. It’s important to keep your gutters clear through regular cleaning, but there’s a better solution.

The Importance Of Installing Gutter Protection Systems
We can install Gutter Helmet® for your home. This gutter protection system prevents leaves, dirt, and debris from clogging up your gutters. It does this through the principle of adhesion. Gutter Helmet completely covers your gutter and its Nose-Forward™ design projects over the roof’s edge. Water will flow over this edge and directly into your gutters, while solid material falls harmlessly away onto the ground.
Gutter Helmet can handle the toughest weather conditions. It even performs under 22 inches of rain per hour, double the heaviest rainfall recorded in the US. In addition, it’s very strong since the system installs over heavy duty steel gauge brackets. Installing Gutter Helmet will reduce your gutters’ maintenance requirements, and save you the time, money, and effort you spend cleaning your gutters. It’s a long-lasting solution to the dangers of clogged gutters.
Installing Gutter Helmet will help safeguard your home from bad weather. Gutter Helmet of Minnesota has installed gutter systems on more than 21,000 homes during our 15 years in the business.
