Your gutters transport rainwater safely away from the rest of your home and disperse it on the ground or in a central drainage system. However, because they’re open to the elements, it can be difficult to keep debris and leaves from collecting in gutters. When this debris accumulates, it can cause many problems. Gutter Helmet® by Harry Helmet™ takes a look at the dangers and the best solution to deal with them.
The Burden of Clogged Gutters
When your gutter is clogged up, the water it collects can’t be moved away. This means that water goes everywhere else – around your foundation, over your landscaping and even down the side of the house. This can cause rot in walls and the fascia that supports your gutter. Over time, this – along with the weight of the accumulated water and muck– can lead to collapse of the gutter itself.
You may choose to regularly clean your gutters, but a better alternative is to invest in Gutter Helmet®, as evidenced by recent positive reviews of gutter covers in Millersville, Maryland.
The Gutter Helmet® Solution
Gutter Helmet covers your open gutter entirely. It features a curved nose that creates a small 3/8-inch slit, the only way water can enter. While water is directed into the gutter, all other leaves and debris are pushed off the roof onto the ground. Gutter Helmet is also an aesthetic upgrade, giving your roof a streamlined and attractive finish.
