Below are Common Problems Caused by Poor Gutters or Clogged Gutter Systems:
The amount of cleaning and maintenance that you will have to perform to keep your gutters working properly will certainly be lessened when you have the Gutter Helmet installed on your home. However, there also exist a number of threats to your home that the Gutter Helmet can help to prevent. The leaks that can develop within regular gutters as well as the overflow of water from them make the Gutter Helmet an even more desirable choice.

When gutters are clogged with leaves, pine needles and other debris, they cease to function properly and can spill water from their sides. Even when they are maintained multiple times a year, with a heavy enough rainfall or high enough winds, water can accumulate quickly enough to pose a threat to your home. As moisture falls to the ground and runs down the outer walls of your home, the chances of mold and mildew growing increases a great deal. Not only are these fungi unattractive on any type of siding, they can lead to rot, structural damage and paint degradation.

Mold and mildew are also known to cause health problems. They especially aggravate people with hypersensitive respiratory systems, such as those afflicted with asthma or chronic nasal drip. Mildew and mold, in combination with water leaks, can eat away at the foundations of a home and wear away basement walls. Excess groundwater moisture can also lead to stress on a foundation from the freezing and expanding of soil in the winter.

Avoid gutter problems by having your gutters cleaned regularly or replacing poor, inoperable gutter systems.

Winter Ice Damage to Gutters in Asheville

Although our Asheville winter temperatures don’t dip that low, we know from experience that ice can sometimes be a problem. Gutters that fill with ice can present many problems for home owners - wet basements being the main one, heavy weighted down gutters tearing from the home is another.

So what can you do about ice in your gutters to prevent damage? 

• First check for clogged gutters or downspouts. Cleaning your gutters can prevent ice and snow from building up and encourage proper  drainage.
• Second, if you have an extension on your downspout that curves, remove it temporarily. These can fill with snow and ice and back up causing problems.
• Lastly, remove heavy snows from the roof (a foot or more) so that when it melts, the run off won’t overflow over iced gutters and run down the interior or exterior of your home.

For more helpful advice on proper winter gutter care, contact the gutter professionals at Gutter Helmet of WNC. Gutter Helmet can protect your gutters against leaves, snow and ice. We also offering cleaning, repair and installation of new seamless aluminum gutters.
