Spring is almost here.
And with that comes the spring storms that will dump rain on your
home. To ensure that your foundation,
home and landscaping stay clear of harmful water damage, gutters and downspouts
must remain clean and free flowing.
Gutters and downspouts clog when they become filled with
leaves and debris that become trapped in the gutters. This causes water to back up and overflow the
gutters. One way to prevent clogs in
your gutters is to have gutter protection installed on your gutter system.
There are many different types of gutter guards to choose
from but the best gutter protection is a hooded type that completely covers the
top of the gutter and uses surface tension to draw the water flow over the nose
of the guard into slits on the face and into your gutters. The hood keeps leaves and debris out while
allowing the water to flow in. Leaves
and debris sit on top of the hood and when dry, blow off to the ground.
At Gutter Covers International, our premium, high-quality hooded
gutter cover is called Gutter Topper® and is one of the first gutter guards to
use surface tension to draw water into the gutter system. It has been independently tested and
certified to withstand 110mph winds (Category 2 hurricane) and can handle 22
inches of rain per hour. It is also
strong enough to handle heavy ice and snow because it can hold up to 1,200 lbs.
per square foot.

Regardless of the type of gutter guards you use, you’ll want
to check your gutters at least once a year to make sure they are in good
working order. Save time and money by
investing in great gutter protection. Your home will thank you for it!
Seldom I found such important post for gutter owners. Thanks for sharing such important post regarding gutter guards.
ReplyDeleteGutters withstand a lot of debris and water throughout the year but are often overlooked and take a back seat to more visible projects. This can cause a host of drainage issues for the home. Clogged gutters can create water damage in the foundation that may lead to serious mold problems.
