Protecting Different Parts of Your Home Using Gutter Covers

Image of new gutter

Gutter covers are a useful invention that helps homeowners tackle gutter and downspout clogging without regular cleaning or maintenance. The primary function of these products is to prevent leaves, twigs and other debris from piling up in your gutter. They can also help protect different components of your home, including your roof, siding, foundation and exterior wall, from water damage.

HutchCo Home & Bath discusses how a gutter protection system can preserve your home’s roof, wall, and foundation.

Siding and Wall

Without reliable gutter guards, debris will clog your gutters. Water will then accumulate in the system rather than flow directly to the downspouts and away from your home’s foundation. It may also spill over the sides and damage your siding system or wall, especially if they are made of wood. Wood, when exposed to moisture, tends to rot. This isn’t good news if you don’t want to spend money on a siding replacement or an extensive wall repair.

To avoid these problems, invest in a reliable gutter guard system like Gutter Helmet®. This surface tension gutter cover can hold up to 22 inches of rain per hour, which is double the amount of the highest recorded rainfall in the country.

Roofing

Clogged gutters can impair your roof. The extra weight of the debris that has accumulated in your gutters can weigh down the roofing materials and even tear them from the system. Protect your roofing system by adding a gutter protection system that’s engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions.

Foundation

Water dripping from your clogged gutters may also cause damage to your foundation. This is probably the most difficult problem to address, especially when considering the cost of repair. Avoid costly foundation repair by installing gutter guards.

I highly recommend Carolina Gutter Helmet in Greer S.C. They did an excellent job on my bath tub to shower project. It was 1 and a half day completion. Very professional and courteous staff .The tare out and install was expedient. They cleaned up and took away all that wad needed. Call them for a job that you need well done. I love my new shower.

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!

Stephen Cordes

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.
