Whether your gutter systems are seamless or sectional, they all have the same function—to drive water away from the foundation. They protect your home from water damage, which is why you need to keep them clean all year round. Neglecting this exterior component can result in serious problems. Gutter Helmet of Michigan discusses the risks of clogged gutters.
Foundation Damage
Your home’s foundation has wood components that are prone to decay when water penetrates. Clogged gutters can cause water to spill over the sides and accumulate near your home. Additionally, the saturated soil can undermine the structural integrity of your living space.
Landscape and Wood Damage
Accumulated water in your gutters often lands on the vegetation or flower beds near your home. It can also impair the other wood components like the fascia boards. These results can affect the appearance of your outdoor space.
Roof Damage
When water pools in your gutter, it can also damage your roofing system. You need to ensure dirt won’t settle in this area so your roof stays dry. Installing a gutter protection system can help you minimize the need for regular upkeep.
Fortunately, our company offers Gutter Helmet®. It has a unique nose-forward design and a ribbed surface that keeps debris out of the system while allowing proper flow to the downspouts. This innovative gutter guard can handle up to 22 inches of rain per hour, which is double the amount of the highest recorded rainfall in the United States.
