The Gutter Helmet® system protects your home by allowing water to flow into the gutters without leaves, twigs, and other debris entering the channel. They attach to your existing gutter system and essentially extend your roof over the channel a few inches in order to block solid materials. Here's a closer look at these helpful devices and how they protect the home.

How Do Gutter Protection Systems Work?

Traditional guards are made of metal mesh and affixed to the top of the channel. They're designed to trap debris as water filters through to the channel below and is carried away. While these systems can be effective, they aren't able to keep everything out of the channels, especially smaller or slimmer materials like pine needles and small twigs. Also, the screens are totally flat and without texture, which often causes materials to get stuck. Either of these situations can lead to clogs and backups.

The Gutter Helmet design works a bit differently and offers superior functioning and protection. The system consists of a textured ribbed surface that fits over the top of the channel and contains a single tiny slit about 3/8 of an inch wide. Water flows over the roof and into the slit, while debris falls away from the channel, not into it.

What Are the Benefits of Gutter Helmet?

Gutter Helmet is a trusted name in the home improvement industry. For over 40 years, their revolutionary product has been helping homeowners avoid ceilings and wall damage, mold issues, insect infestations, and costly repairs. 

This is because the cutting-edge design blocks more debris from entering the channel, greatly reducing the risk of clogs and backups. When water can be more efficiently carried away from the home, you're better able to protect the roof and foundation from water damage and all the problems that come with it.

The ribbed surface means debris will not get stuck, which also prevents drainage issues while making the entire system easier to clean and maintain. As a result, your gutters will have a long life span and continue to serve your home for years to come.
