Did you know one of the most important aspects of your home is your Gutter System? The earliest gutter systems, made of rock and clay, date back to 3500-1500 BC, doing what they do best, diverting water for thousands of years!
A gutter’s main purpose is to divert water away from your home. If your gutters have clogs, leaks, or any damage to them, it can cause interior damage as well. If you’ve had your roof replaced, your gutters may not work as originally designed. Having your gutters inspected and maintained will extend the life of your system and prevent damage to your home.
Debris from roofing shingle grit, leaves, twigs, and wildlife can build up in your gutters and prevent them from working properly. Your gutters should be cleaned multiple times a year, which the Gutter People by Highland can help you with! On occasion we come across balls, frisbees, and other children’s toys in there! You never know what is in your gutter until you get up there and start cleaning them out.
Clogs can also be prevented with Gutter Helmet. Gutter Helmet is a cover that gets installed under your second course of shingles, and goes right over the gutter. The goal is to curve the water into a “waterfall effect”, allowing it to flow over the nose of the panel right into the gutter. Everything else will drop to the ground and stay out of your gutters. Gutter Helmet is currently rated Forbes #1 in gutter protection. It also comes with a Triple Lifetime Warranty, meaning you will never clean your gutters again!
