Why Regular Gutter Maintenance Is a Must

Whether you have copper, steel, or aluminum gutters, you need to maintain your gutters regularly to prevent clogs from developing. Accumulated twigs, leaves, and other debris can clog your gutters, keeping them from effectively draining water away from your home. This can cause serious water damage to your roof, siding, foundation, and landscape.

In today’s post, Gutter Helmet® of Eastern NY explains the importance of regular gutter maintenance.

Why Your Home Needs Gutter Maintenance

Your gutters play a critical role in your home’s protection from the elements, as it is their job to drain precipitation safely away from your property. When your gutters fail, your home becomes extremely vulnerable to water damage.

Keeping your gutters in good shape, however, can be challenging. While removing leaves and other debris from your gutters may seem simple enough, it is actually a demanding job—and one that needs to be done frequently, especially in the fall. Not only do you need specific tools to ensure you do the job right, you also need to be well-versed on best practices for safety.

Fortunately, there’s a solution that doesn’t require you to lift a finger: investing in a gutter filter or gutter protection system like Gutter Helmet®.

How Gutter Helmet Can Help

Gutter Helmet utilizes the principle of surface tension. Precipitation clings to the system’s ribbed surface as it flows smoothly through a narrow slit and into your downspouts, while debris is filtered out and falls safely to the ground. Gutter Helmet can accommodate up to 22 inches of rain per hour, double the highest recorded amount of rainfall in the country.

To ensure lasting beauty, Gutter Helmet comes with a patented PermaLife™ finish that resists fading and chalking. It consists of five layers that include an anti-corrosion pre-treatment on top of an aluminum substrate for long-lasting protection. Homeowners can choose from a wide variety of color options.
