The Benefits of Gutter Helmets
Keeping Your Gutters Free from Debris
At Mattsson Roofing, we understand that maintaining your home's gutters is essential to preventing water damage and keeping your roof in top condition. Recently, we installed gutter helmets on a homeowner’s roof, and we want to explain how these simple additions make a big difference in protecting your home.
Why Gutter Helmets?
Gutter helmets are designed to prevent debris from clogging up your gutters, allowing water to flow freely through the system and away from your home. Without these helmets, items like leaves, flower petals, and other debris can easily fall into your gutters, causing blockages that prevent water from draining properly. In the long term, clogged gutters can lead to overflow issues, damaging your foundation, siding, or landscaping.
A Real-Life Example:
On this particular roof, we noticed beautiful pink flower petals collecting on top of the gutter helmets. While the petals gathered on the surface, they didn't find their way into the gutters. Without the gutter helmets, all of that debris would have clogged the gutters, potentially impeding water flow. Instead, water continues to flow freely through the system, directed through the downspout and away from the home.
Do You Still Need to Clean Gutter Helmets?
It’s important to note that gutter helmets don’t make your gutters maintenance-free. Occasionally, you'll need to clear any debris that collects on top of the helmets. A quick swipe with a broom or a leaf blower can easily handle it. However, the big advantage is that debris stays out of the gutters themselves, keeping the water flowing and saving you the headache of dealing with clogs.
