Water can do all sorts of damage to your home if left unchecked. It can rot wooden rafters, stain and distort siding boards and even shift the soil around your foundations. Water-related damage is perhaps the most common problem millions of homeowners face every year. Luckily, a strong and reliable gutter system can minimize, if not completely eliminate, these issues. This is why it’s important to ensure your gutters are always in their best shape, especially before the rainy season arrives.
You don’t need to be the best rain gutter system expert to know that poorly maintained gutters are not very effective at handling water flow. That’s why our professionals at Chattahoochee Gutter Co., Inc. offer these practical tips to help you keep your gutter systems free from any type of damage.
Water
The best way to prevent water damage on your gutters is to keep it clear of any obstruction. Leaves, twigs and other debris can clog up the troughs and keep water from flowing freely. You can choose to manually get up on your roof and clean your gutters but you’ll only be fighting a never-ending battle. Gutter Helmet® can permanently prevent potential clogging caused by unwanted objects getting inside your gutters. When we promise that you’ll “never clean your gutters again!”, we mean it.
Snow
Snow days in Alabama are few and far between, but ice dams still pose a threat once the colder months kick in. We recommend investing in a Helmet Heat® upgrade to your Gutter Helmet to reduce the amount of ice formation on your roof and in your gutters.
Hail
Hailstone impacts can dent or throw your gutters out of their support brackets. Our reinforced stainless steel heavy-duty brackets have been proven to carry up to 80 lbs. of weight and are designed to withstand hail storm damage with little to no damage.
