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.

Rainbarrels and Gutter Systems: How they Work Together

Can my Gutter System and a Rain Barrel Save Me Money And Protect The Environment?
The right guttering system with downspout combined with a rain barrel can lower your utility bills and help you preserve our natural resources. During summer months, nearly 40% of total household water use comes from lawn and garden watering. Rain barrels collect water from your gutter system and store it to use for car washing, watering plants or to top off a swimming pool. This ample supply of free “soft water” contains no chlorine, calcium or lime making it perfect for vegetable gardens and flower pots as well as car, window and pet washing.

According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), most homeowners will save 1,300 gallons of water from the using a rain barrel properly attached to their gutter system. Saving water will not only lower utility bills, but it diverts water from storm drains which decreases the impact of runoff on local streams.

Tips for Keeping your Rain Barrel Clean and Safe:

- Keep your barrel sealed with a fitted lid that blocks light. This will stop animals and children from falling into the water and prevent algae from growing in your barrel.
-Use a Gutter Helmet gutter guard to keep your water clear of leaves and other debris.
-Direct excess water away from your home’s foundation or into a second barrel with an overflow device.
-Be sure your gutters are properly installed and clean for maximum water collection.
