Gutter Cleaning Tips: Asheville Homeowners Guide to Cleaning Gutters

Most homes in the Asheville area need to have their rain gutters and downspouts cleaned regularly due to the surrounding woodlands. When you look around, you may see homes with small trees and ferns growing in gutters because the homeowner hasn’t maintained the gutters. Over time, organic muck builds up. This is an invitation to trouble. You risk damage to roofs, fascia and siding, and over exposure to mosquitoes that cause disease and mold and mildew, that can aggravate allergies and sinuses. When rain gutters are clogged, water can overflow, causing exterior damage and interior mold and mildew. Gutter guards, covers or helmets can protect gutters in Western North Carolina from clogging and overflowing.

If you happen to live in a 1 story house, you may be able to clean your own gutters. A ladder, preferably an articulating type can be set up so it doesn’t rest directly on the gutters. If you don’t have one, it’s not a show stopper, just be forewarned that stuffed, overflowing gutters can cause damage. Gutter cleaning isn’t for everyone. If you need help, call the friendly people at Gutter Helmet of WNC at 828.681.5555 they’ll take care of it for you.

To tackle this job yourself, you’ll need gloves, a bucket or plastic bags, and a hose. Gutters are fraught with sharp edges and are no place for unprotected hands.

Secure and hook the hose to the gutter so it slides along the gutter as you go. Keep in mind that gutters are not designed to take any appreciable weight, so don’t let your bucket get too full and don’t lean on gutters either.

Use your hands or a scoop to clean out the muck and leaves and dump into your bucket. When full, toss the muck in the compost. Once the gutter is clean, use the hose to remove remaining debris. Look for leaks or holes that need repair. A gutter professional can spot leaks and needed repairs easily.

People usually think of rain gutter protection in the spring or fall when gutters have a tendency to clog with leaves and heavy rain cause overflows that bring gutter problems to our attention. The fact is that snow can also cause major problems when you don’t have a proper rain gutter protection system in place.

Not only do gutters keep rain from running off your roof and over doorways and entryways and getting you wet, they protect your home from damage by managing the flow of water. Rain gutter protection actually serves a very important function. When rain hits your roof it runs down into your rain gutter system and drains safely away from your home. The power of hundreds of gallons of rain water running off your roof can be a damaging source of nature. Where does it go once it  gets to the edge? Without gutters it goes right to your home’s foundation.  The dirt around your home saturates with water leading to foundation damage, water in your basement, mold problems and a host of other expensive problems.

But I do have gutters you’re thinking? Yes, but if your Asheville home’s gutters and downspouts aren’t cleaned and functioning properly, it’s the same as not having any. That’s where rain gutter protection comes in. A good rain gutter protection system like Gutter Helmet solid gutter covers can protect your foundation, basement and home from damage.

Gutter Guard Comparison

If you are considering installing a gutter guard cover, it’s helpful to do a side by side comparison of all gutter guard systems. Let’s review.  There are six basic types of gutter covers:
•Reverse Curve solid cover

•Mesh

•Bottle Brush

•Nylon

•Foam type
The reverse curve is designed to direct water downward into the gutter through a tiny slit but encourages leaves to fall to the ground.

Mesh gutter guards are sheets filled with holes that cover the gutter and attach to the roof shingles. Small holes are better than large holes because they don’t clog with leaves and stuff as easily.

Bottle brush gutter guards are similar to those pokey bristles that prevent birds from landing on things like statues. The bristles face upright so debris can rest on top while water flows into the downspout.

Nylon gutter guards work especially well in the winter to prevent snow and ice accumulation. You can get them to fit into your gutter without attaching to the shingles.

Foam Type is made from a plastic that fits directly into the gutter. It’s supposed to block all the debris falling from the roof and into the gutter. Debris can get caught on top of the foam which can lead to problems. The foam also displaces water, so the gutter holds less than with other cover types and may overflow more easily during heavy rains.

How Does Gutter Helmet of Asheville, NC compare to gutter guards, covers, screens and other types of gutter products?

Gutter Helmet’s unique, multi-patented, curved design has no vertical openings that can allow debris to settle or to enter. Gravity causes leaves and debris to fall harmlessly to the ground, while water surface tension causes water to flow around the exclusive cover design and back into your gutters.

All gutter protection products are not created equally. Gutter Helmet is the only system that really does what it advertises. This is why Gutter Helmet is installed in more homes than any other gutter protection system.
