Gutters do more than just collect rainwater and dump it into a drainage system. They also protect your home from multiple types of water damage. When they become clogged with leaves and debris, however, gutters can’t function properly. The water that gutters collect is instead forced to spill over and may damage other parts of your home.
Gutter Helmet® looks at the parts that are especially vulnerable, and offers a very effective solution.
A Danger to Landscapes &Foundations
You’re probably wondering how your gutter can protect your landscaping and foundation when it’s raining over a widespread area. When it comes to your landscaping, only small drops of rain will be hitting it at a time. An overflow from clogged gutters means a large volume of water is concentrated on single points simultaneously. It has the same effect as pouring a pail of water directly on your landscaping.
Foundation damage can be even more costly. When water is not moved far enough away from the foundation, it can put a great deal of pressure on the foundation. This can lead to flooded basements, bowing walls and even cracks.
A Permanent Solution to Clogged Gutters
Gutter covers in Belton, Missouri, are a permanent solution to constant gutter cleaning and maintenance demands, and Gutter Helmet® stands out among the choices available. The solid cover protects all sections of your gutter, leaving only a small slit under the nose-forward design.
