In autumn, the increased about of leaves and other debris falling on your roof can cause your gutters to clog up quicker than in other seasons. When this happens, a combination of factors can lead to your gutter system’s eventual collapse—which is a very expensive issue. ABC Seamless Siding looks at the factors that can cause this to happen as well as the reasons why Gutter Helmet is the perfect long-term solution to this problem.
How Clogs Cause Collapse
It’s not always the clogging itself that causes gutters to collapse—but it’s certainly a start. The clog will cause an overflow—sending water everywhere. When enough of its oaks into your fascia board that holds your gutters up, the structure will weaken. Combine that with the accumulated weight of the collected debris and water and—though it takes time—a collapse will soon become a matter of ‘when’ and not ‘if’. One way to deal with this issue is to constantly have your gutters cleaned—which is a maintenance necessity that shouldn’t be ignored.
The Best Answer to the Problem
Given the time and money that frequent gutter cleaning will entail, a better solution is to go for gutter covers in Anchorage AK, and the local area. Gutter Helmet is one of the most effective brands of gutter protection. This particular brand stands out because it covers your gutter entirely—terminating in a rounded nose protruding off your roof’s edge. There’s only a tiny slit beneath that nose that prevents anything but water from entering. Leaves and other debris fall off the gutter covers and onto the ground below where you can easily sweep them away. On top of all that, Gutter Helmet hides your gutter, giving your roof a smooth, beautiful look.
Gutter Helmet will prevent your gutters from collapsing by dealing with the very root of the problem that leads to collapse. They’re a long-term investment that will also save you time and money because you’ll never have to clean your gutters ever again.
