Gutter Helmets and You

A Gutter Helmet is a product that can cover gutters and can prevent debris and animals from going in there. While it works best with seamless gutters, it can cover any type of gutter. Without Gutter Helmets, leaves and other debris can accumulate in the gutters and cause them to clog. Then when it rains the water will overflow straight down from the roof's edge causing the rotting of the roof and siding, and even erosion of the ground below. A gutter helmet might work better for you than you might think.

What are Gutter Helmets?

The gutter helmet system covers your gutters and prevents leaves, twigs, and debris to stay out, but still allows water to flow through them with ease. This system protects your home from clogged gutters, rotting siding, and insect infestation. The edge of the gutter helmet extends past the roof with only a slight opening for rainwater in your gutters, allowing for protection from non-rain debris. As only rainwater is allowed to enter, you will not have to clean your gutters anymore. It is the best gutter protection system on the market and will last a lifetime.

This product is designed to collect all the rain that falls on your roof, without collecting twigs, leaves, and any other debris that might come along. The rounded edge of the gutter helmet has a small narrow slit in it, allowing for the collection rainwater and only rainwater for your gutters. Other debris that would get into gutters that are not protected by gutter helmet, cannot pass through this narrow slit, and will continue down and drop to the ground, allowing to be cleaned up at a more convenient time.

Gutter helmets also protect your roof and shingles, siding, and landscape below that usually is damaged due to gutters clogging and overflowing.
