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.

How is Gutter Helmet Different from Other Gutter Protection Systems?

The difference between Gutter Helmet lies in the patented design and overall effectiveness of the product. Gutter Helmet has been time tested over twenty five years. That’s why we are ranked as America’s best and #1 gutter protection system. Most gutter cover products use a screen with vertical openings or foam. These small openings in the screen collect small debris such as pine needles, and tree droppings that can clog the holes in the gutter cover and keep them from working effectively at capturing rain water.

Gutter Helmet’s multi-patented solid gutter cover design has no small openings making it impossible for small debris to enter your gutters or clog the cover. Gutter Helmet’s design uses “surface tension”, to draw water into a small slit on the side of the helmet, while pushing leaves around, over and down.  To see surface tension at work, hold a water glass under a running faucet and watch it run over the curved surface of the glass. The water flows around the outside of the glass. Leaves and debris fall to the ground, while water surface tension causes water to flow around the exclusive lid design and into your gutters where it can drain away from your home.

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.

Installing Your Own Gutters: Pros & Cons

If you’re thinking of installing your own gutters, read one. Most full-service home improvement stores in the Asheville, Hendersonville, Flat Rock area, sell “do it yourself” gutter systems. If you’re comfortable with hand tools, assembling and installing gutters shouldn’t present any great challenge, but the job isn’t for everyone. It requires that you know how to safely work from ladders (good balance and staying within your reach) and are comfortable doing it. Be sure to rent scaffolding for second-floor gutter work because it’s much safer than using a ladder. If you’re not up the challenge, you can always call your WNC gutter installation experts at Gutter Helmet and get high quality, long lasting seamless aluminum gutters installed in no time. A trained technician can be reached at 828.681.5555.

Installing your own gutters can save you some money, but there are a few pitfalls to watch out for.  Be sure to inspect the fascia and soffit for signs of rotted wood, which will need to be replaced before you put up the gutters. Many houses have a trim board or crown molding nailed to the fascia just under the shingles. You’ll have to either remove this or add a continuous strip of wood under it to create a flat plane for the gutters.

You also want to be sure to install downspouts in unobstructed, inconspicuous area where water can be directed away from the house. And to prevent water from running behind your gutters, you’ll want to install metal gutter apron flashing under the shingles and over the back edge of the gutter.

Most homeowners would rather call a trained professional, who knows what to look for and can help you avoid the pitfalls associated with installing your own system. The friendly folks at Gutter Helmet offers  5” and 6” seamless gutters in a wide array of colors as well as 6.5″ round copper gutters.

The Benefits of Gutters

Gutters aren’t just a “nice to have” accessory, a gutter system is an important part of your home’s maintenance. Properly installed gutters play an important role in keeping water out of your basement. Gutters catch water coming off your roof and channel it well away from your home’s foundation so it won’t leak into walls and basements causing water damage or a musty damp smell, or worse yet, mold in your home’s interior and exterior.  Installing long seamless gutters or decorative gutters like copper, is best left to the professionals at Gutter Helmet of WNC. We install seamless aluminum gutters to match your home’s exterior and properly install them so they carry rain water safely away from your home.

Asheville’s Best Gutter System Installed in Just one Day!

In the Asheville, NC area, the median home value is $293,000 - a big investment that you need to protect. Few homeowners think about how gutters and downspouts affect their home. The truth is, a good guttering system, combined with the right covers/guards, can literally save you from thousands of dollars in structural damage.

Rain gutters are a simple way to channel rainwater off of your roof and away from your home. They protect your home from damage because they keep water from constantly running down the sides of the house, or going on the fascia boards and rafters. Homes without gutters are susceptible to:

·         Damage to current landscaping

·         Foundation damage

·         Wood rot

·         Black mold

·         Damage to walkway

·         Damage to the driveway

·         Shingle and roof damage

·         Erosion of masonry

·         Damage to paint

Without gutters, a home’s structure and foundation are compromised. Homes with poorly designed downspouts or homes without any will have rainwater collect and pool underneath the roof. This eventually weakens the foundation, causing thousands of dollars worth of damage. Replacing damaged roofs, siding and other areas of your home can be very expensive to say the least.

It’s simple and inexpensive to have gutters installed, when compared to the cost of repairing the above mentioned damage. Today, gutters and downspouts come in many different colors and designs. Seamless gutters and Gutter Helmets, have made installing and maintaining guttering systems much easier than ever before.

The trained, gutter professionals at Gutter Helmet, have been helping homeowners in Western North Carolina for 17 years.
