| How To Prevent Clogged Gutters |
| |
If you have a home with gutters, you probably find yourself a couple of times a year climbing ladders and unclogging them. If there are trees in close proximity to the home, you may be unclogging gutters even more frequently.
I recently saw a simple, but very effective, product that can eliminate this tedious and sometimes dangerous homeowner chore. The product is called "Gutter Cap" and is manufactured and installed by a company with the same name: See Gutter Cap.
Gutter Cap is an aluminum cover that is actually installed on top of your home's gutter and attaches to a hidden bracket assembly located under the bottom tier of your shingles.
Gutter Cap works under two basic principles: Water tension and capillary action. As water runs down the roof of your home and slides over the dome shaped aluminum Gutter Cap, the water adheres to the surface of the cap and roles into the gutter below. The leaf and pine needle debris however, do not adhere to the surface of the Gutter Cap dome and instead simply slide off and over the Gutter Cap and gutter to the ground below.
Gutter Cap can also be installed with heated wires to eliminate Ice Damns during the winter.
Gutter Cap installation requires a professional, as the Gutter Cap is formed on site to the specifics of your particular home and gutter situation.
Gutter Cap is reasonably priced and well worth the investment, if you value your time and do not like to regularly climb ladders.
