Challenges of
Conventional Gutters
Water...
Did you know that over 43 million cubic inches of rain falls on the average
30-square roof each year? That's over 120,000 gallons.
When clogged and filled with water about 5 feet of conventional
gutter weights over 60 lbs. So, it becomes clear why so many of the other gutter
systems eventually fail.
Cleaning...
As you know, cleaning your gutters is a never ending cycle. Amazingly,
accidental falls are the leading cause of nonfatal injuries in the home. Plus,
hiring a gutter cleaning service can be unreliable and can even expose you to
expensive risks of injury lawsuits.
Damage...
The collection of clogged water and debris can obviously cause damage to
your conventional gutter. Plus, the standing wetness will often damage your roof
sheathing, rafter tails, fascia, soffit, landscape and foundation from
overspill. This exposes you to further damage from
termites and mold.
Mosquitoes...
When leaves and other debris fall into your gutters, they collect. They can
clog your gutters and prevent them from working properly. They can accumulate
rotting material, which forms the moist bed for both plant sprouts and mosquito
larvae. And, we all know that mosquitoes are spreading the
dangerous West Nile Virus.
So, we can agree that clogged gutters is an important problem.
