Keeping your gutters clean can help preserve the structural integrity of your home. Their primary function, which is to drive the rain away from the foundation and walls, helps prevent water damage. External materials like leaves, twigs, and other debris, however, can affect their performance.
Gutter Helmet® of Western North Carolina discusses how clogging can have an impact on your household.
Foundation
When water spills out of the side of your gutters, it tends to pool near the foundation of your home. It can cause the foundation to settle and eventually cause uneven floors or cracks in walls and chimneys. Moreover, water has a way of seeping through the tiniest gaps and causing other issues.
One effective way to fend off potential foundation problems is by installing the best gutter protection system. Gutter Helmet® has an innovative nose-forward design and a narrow pores that keep debris out of the gutters. It also has a textured surface that allows water to adhere and move directly to the downspouts. Moreover, it comes with heavy-duty brackets that secure the system.
Wood
Watermarks on the fascia boards often signal that something is off in your gutters. Leaks in this area can cause its wood to rot and deteriorate. Water can also move down the sides of your home, which can damage your siding, especially if they’re made of wood.
Gutter Helmet can help maintain the exterior design. You can also choose the wide array of color options to match the architectural style of your home or its exterior color palette. Gutter Helmet’s PermaLife® finish has five layers that prevent cracking and chipping.
