Your gutters are an integral component of your home’s well-being because they channel rainwater into your drainage system. This protects your roof, foundation, and landscaping from major damage. They are susceptible to debris buildup, however, because of their open design. Leaving them clogged will render them ineffective and could result in costly problems.
The Risks of Clogged Gutters
Neglecting your clogged gutters can cause water to overflow, which can greatly affect the vulnerable parts of your exterior. For instance, water may seep through your roof, which could lead to leaks or premature wear. Additionally, build up in your gutters may cause water to pool around your foundation and cause damage.
Other issues include:
-
Basement flooding
-
Landscape erosion
-
Infestations
-
Compromised structural integrity
Professionals recommend cleaning your gutters at least twice a year, preferably during spring and fall. However, without the proper skills and knowledge, doing this strenuous task on your own may do you and your home more harm than good. Fortunately, Gutter Helmet® is here to help. As the top choice for rain gutter guards, we offer our Gutter Helmet system as a long-term solution to make your gutters virtually maintenance-free.
The Permanent Solution
Gutter Helmet comes with innovative features to keep your gutters clear of clogging. It has a 3/8” slit and an exclusive nose-forward design to block leaves, twigs, dirt, and other debris. This allows unimpeded water flow into your downspouts. Furthermore, it comes with a textured surface for enhanced surface tension, directing the water to the opening instead of shedding it to the ground. It will only need cleaning once a year, and you can contact us to assist you.
Gutter Helmet also has a sturdy construction to stay in its best shape for years. Made of aluminum, it is attached to the roof with heavy mounting brackets to withstand the elements, from strong rainfall to high winds. In fact, it can handle up to 22 inches of rainfall without overflowing. This ensures your protection all year round.
