Has anyone tried Gutter Helmet? Does it work? Are there other brands of gutter covers I should consider?
I have a finished basement that is my pride and joy. Unfortunately, in one back room, I'm getting a bit of water coming into the house. I'm blaming my gutters, which clog regularly regardless of the season, and pour over the edge near the house, causing heavy puddling, which I'm guessing is somehow leaking into my basement.
I live in the country, and my home is surrounded by a lot of woods and my yard has quite a few large mature white pines, oaks, elms, and maple trees, which wreak havoc on my gutters. Any advice would be helpful.
i think that you can do better with the better quality screens that are available. since you have the maple seeds and pine needles, they would follow the water in. call a local roofing supply house and ask what they carry for your conditions (trees that you have), and if you can buy directly from them. i am not talking about that cheap plastic stuff from home depot, i have seen some with stainless steel screens that tuck under the bottom row of shingles and locks into the front of the gutter. they are so tight that the loose sand on the shingles won't get in. and consider extending the downspouts out further into the yard, and pitching the soil from the foundation out about ten feet. i saw one of the this old house shows where they put in gutter helmet gutters. they threw some leaves on the roof, then ran a garden hose on it to simulate rain. i laughed my butt off as i watched several leaves run right down the roof and into the gutter!!!! plus they are very pricey. good luck.
