Your gutter system is essential to the structural integrity of your home. Its primary function is to channel the rain that hits your roof away from the foundation. You may not put that much thought into this component, but it can safeguard your living space against water damage, especially during storms.
RBC Roofing explains how installing rain gutter covers can minimize the risk of clogging in the course of a heavy downpour.
The Dangers of Clogging
Accumulated leaves, twigs, and other debris can block the opening of your gutter. They are the primary culprits when the rain that hits your roof doesn’t move where it is supposed to go. You can expect water to spill down the sides of the home, pooling around the foundation. Moreover, gutters are engineered to carry a certain volume of water, so additional weight that it’s not designed to accommodate can overburden it, causing it to sag.
The Benefits of Gutter Helmet®
The best thing about gutter guards is that you don’t have to worry about climbing the ladder and scooping dirt again. They are designed to prevent clogging caused by debris blown off by the wind. They also minimize the risks of clogged gutters.
Gutter Helmet® has a unique nose-forward design and a ribbed appearance that utilizes the principle of surface tension. These features allow water to stick and move to the small slit, which allows proper movement of rainwater. Moreover, it uses heavy-duty aluminum brackets. It is engineered to hold 22 inches of rain per hour, which is double the highest amount of rainfall recorded in the U.S.
