How does Gutter Helmet® gutter protection work?

Gutters become useless when they are clogged with leaves and debris.

Clogged gutters can rot and damage your home, lawn, basement, foundation and landscaping.

Gutter Helmet’s secret is the principle of surface tension. Hold a glass under a running faucet and you can see surface tension at work. The water flows around the outside of the glass. Similarly, water clings to your Gutter Helmet® as it runs down the roof, flowing freely into your gutters. Pine needles, leaves, and other debris, however, fall to the ground below. Your gutters stay open and clear, with no work on your part! It’s the best gutter guard system available today.

What benefits can I expect with the Gutter Helmet® gutter protection system?

There are many benefits to installing Gutter Helmet® over your gutters:

• Keeps your gutters free of clogs;
• Ensures that dirt, leaves, needles, and debris roll off of your roof and stay out of your gutters;
• Deters infestation by birds, animals, and insects;
• Protects your home’s foundation and landscaping by properly directing rainwater away from your home;
• Protects against harmful mold, mildew and rot caused by water gathering in your gutters and seeping under your fascia and eaves.
• And perhaps most importantly, Gutter Helmet® keeps YOU off of that dangerous ladder!

Will my roof warranty be affected by installing Gutter Helmet® metal gutter guards?

Gutter Helmet® is installed professionally by experts, using the industry’s highest quality poly-butyl sealant. You can rest easy knowing your roof and your roof warranty are safe with us.

How does Gutter Helmet® compare to gutter screens and other gutter protection systems?

The big difference is that other gutter protection systems, like screens or grates, have vertical slots, louvers or other openings. No matter what, these openings eventually allow leaves and debris to clog your gutters.

On the other hand, Gutter Helmet’s unique, multi-patented design has no vertical openings that can allow debris to enter your gutters. Gravity causes leaves and debris to fall harmlessly to the ground, while water surface tension causes water to flow around the exclusive cover design and back into your rain gutter system.

My roof is very steep. Will water pour over the Gutter Helmet® gutter guard installation, bypassing the gutters?

No. Gutter Helmet® is engineered to work with various roof types despite the degree of pitch, from flat to vertical. Water will easily flow into your gutters.

How much rain can Gutter Helmet® gutter guards handle?

Can Gutter Helmet® gutter shield handle heavy snows?

What about frozen gutters and ice dams? Is Gutter Helmet® the best gutter protection against ice buildup?

In colder months, clogged gutters can become frozen and turn into a solid block of heavy ice and debris. This can cause gutters to buckle and pull away from your house.

An ice dam is a buildup of ice under the roof edge. The ice eventually creeps up under the shingles and warps them. Further damage can lead to rotting roof rafters and interior leaks. Faulty insulation and/or poor attic ventilation is the root cause of ice dams.

Certain Gutter Helmet® dealers can install a self-regulating heat cable that can mitigate ice dams and frozen gutters. Additionally, Gutter Helmet’s patented brackets are specifically designed to carry and conceal the heat cable. Ask your local dealer about this special service.
