Problems Caused by Clogged or Poor Gutter Systems

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. 

Gutter Helmet Installed

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.

Protecting Your WNC Home with Rain Gutters and Gutter Guards

Homeowners in the heavily wooded and rainy areas of WNC and Asheville almost certainly need rain gutters and some type of fitted gutter guard device to keep from clogging gutter systems. Rain gutters help safely channel water away from your home so as not to cause damage to roof, fascia, siding and landscape.  If you’re getting rain water coming off your roof and into doorways during heavy rains or experiencing a wet basement, you probably need gutters installed or your existing gutter system is clogged with leaves and not functioning properly.

Do I need a Gutter Cover System?
There are many type of gutter covers on the market, and while all of these gutter leaf guards boast similar benefits; they differ in 3 main ways:
1. Some gutter protection systems have a rounded nose that directs water into a narrow longitudinal gap. Others have louvered slots or perforated openings.
2. Some gutter leaf guards are designed to mount onto new or existing rain gutters. Others are complete systems with rain gutter included.
3. How they fit with the roof. Some gutter covers simply slide under the first or second course of shingles; others must be glued or nailed to the roof.

Which Gutter Protection system is the Best?
While each of the gutter guards on the market has some distinct benefits, only Gutter Helmet has been time tested for over 25 years and is guaranteed to protect your rain gutters for the life of your home. Gutter Helmet was the first, the original solid gutter cover ever designed in the late 60’s.

Got Overflowing and Clogged Gutters?

clogged gutters

Do you have a problem with your gutters backing up or overflowing?

Gutter problems arise when you have clogged gutters.  The culprit causing the clog is usually leaves and tree debris. Instead of flowing harmlessly into your downspouts, rainwater backs up. Some will flow over the front edge of the gutter, dumping on your shrubs and bushes, and endangering your foundation. Some rainwater spills over the back of the gutter, saturating your eaves, soffit and other wooden framework. This dampness can lead to mold and mildew, which causes wood to rot and decay.

Gutter Helmet solid aluminum gutter covers prevent this buildup of water because no debris ever enters in gutters, and water always flows freely down the gutter into the downspout. The professional at Gutter Helmet of WNC  in Asheville can help.

Cleaning Clogged Gutter Downspouts

Tips for Cleaning Clogged Gutter Downspouts

If you’ve managed to get through the task of cleaning out clogged gutters, then the next step is to make sure that the downspouts run freely. If they don’t, you probably have a blockage in the downspout itself. Try dislodging it by running a hose down the spout. The water pressure shouldn’t be too strong—you don’t want to blow it up. If it’s still tight, use a plumbing snake to clear it.

If there are angled joints, you may need to remove the downspout from the gutter to clear it. If you break a seal, clean the old caulk off with a wire brush and then apply silicone caulk to reseal. Reattach the clean, sealed downspout. Install downspout strainers to trap debris so you can clean it easily and prevent knots of debris from blocking them. Cleaning gutters and downspouts is something most homeowners dread doing.
