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.

What are the Pros/Cons of Different Gutter Guards, Covers and Protection Systems?

Gutter Helmet #1 Gutter Protection System in the World

Why do some gutter covers or gutter guards fail? There are various ways to classify and rate gutter covers/helmets/guards intended to keep leaves, debris and other stuff out of gutters. You can divide them into very broad or very specific categories. There are six basic types:

• Reverse Curve
• 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.

Can I Install My Own Gutters?

You can install your own gutters. Most home centers and full-service hardware stores in the Asheville, Hendersonville, Flat Rock area, sell “do it yourself” gutter systems. If you’re comfortable with hand tools, assembling - 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 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 serving Asheville, Hendersonville and Flat Rock and WNC are always there to help.
