People living in heavily wooded areas often dread the autumn season. While the typical rake leafing jobs present enough work to do on a Saturday morning, homeowners often must deal with gutters full of leaves and other debris because they haven’t been protected by GutterBrush gutter covers. Take Alissa, who after one major thunderstorm got so fed up with overflowing gutters that created standing water problems and flooded the basement that she hired a tree service to remove the three mature trees that stood in her backyard. “I cleaned those gutters out every other week in the fall,” she said, “but anytime we get a bad rain I ended up having to pump the basement because the gutters overflowed instead of shuttling the water away from the house like it was designed.” It wasn’t until after one of the workers had finished cutting down a tree that he told her about his own GutterBrush gutter covers. She admits she was concerned about the cost. The gutters and guards she’d already installed to engineer drainage away from the home and toward her garden had been expensive. She also didn’t think that the GutterBrush gutter covers would work any better. “But when the next thunderstorm came and my gutters still clogged I got a little desperate.”
A clogged gutter can create serious drainage problems and overflowing water during storms. But those protected by the GutterBrush gutter covers prevent debris from entering the gutter while allowing a free flow of water through the gutter system so that the water drains where it is supposed to drain. The result is hassle-free gutters and the solution to Alissa’s problem. Since installing the GutterBrush gutter covers, she has checked on the gutters less and less. “They don’t overflow anymore,” She explains with a smile. “I haven’t had to pump water from my basement in a year!”
