3 Practical Advantages of Gutter Helmet®’s SnapLock™

Practical Advantages of Gutter Helmet SnapLock

The Gutter Helmet® seamless gutter system ensures proper drainage in many ways, and one of them is SnapLock™. This attachment method helps prevent water leakage and other all-too-common gutter problems.

In a nutshell, here are the three main things SnapLock does that help
HutchCo Home & Bath offer almost maintenance-free gutters:

It Eliminates Penetrations

First of all, this technology doesn’t involve the use of nails or screws. It allows the gutters to be clipped to the roofline without punching a hole in the fascia boards. No holes mean no penetrations, which makes it harder for the water to seep into the roof.

If you’re retrofitting your roofing system with Gutter Helmet seamless gutters with gutter protection, your roof warranty wouldn’t be voided. Your asphalt shingle installer or manufacturer might refuse to cover any leak-related product failure when new holes are drilled into anywhere your roof.

It Helps Keep the Fascia Boards Dry

SnapLock brackets will guarantee adequate clearance between your gutters and fascias. The same can’t be said about traditional attachment components that press gutters directly against fascia boards.

The space between your gutters and fascia boards allows proper ventilation, which increases the evaporation rate of water. The faster the water dries, the lesser the chances of mold growth and rot.

It Allows Gutter Expansion and Contraction

Experts would tell you that even properly pitched gutters and downspouts could fail quickly when pinned in place. These units might not have enough room to expand or contract when the outside air temperature fluctuates. Even when reinforced with gutter guards, such gutters might further sag or cause leakage due to standing water.

SnapLock solves this problem by allowing the gutters to hang more freely as well as expand and contract naturally as the weather changes. In turn, expect your gutters not to buckle over time and stay properly pitched.

We had a full size retractable awning replaced due to tropical storm Helene and another awning installed in its place within a couple of hours. Great job and I would highly recommend Carolina Gutter Helmet for any of your awning needs! Thank you again!

We ordered a Sunsetter Awning from Carolina Gutter Helmet. The sales person was knowledgeable about the awning and was very pleasant to deal with. The awning was installed 4 weeks later and it only took them 2-3 hours to finish. We received cookies in the mail a few weeks later thanking us for our business. The people at Carolina Gutter Helmet are experts at customer service. We are very pleased with their service and the awning.

I had a tub to walk in shower conversion. What they did was more than I expected. The installers were total professionals and they did a beautiful job. They walked me through everything and cleaned up before they left. Total satisfaction on my part.
