Gutters

Rain, Rain, Go away - my gutters are clogged and the water won't go away! More water seems to be pouring over the side then going down the downspouts. I don't know about you but I hate cleaning gutters. It's a very dirty job and a very dangerous one if you have a two story home.

After battling clogged gutters for two years now on my new "old" house (original gutters from 1938), I have decided to find replacement gutters that won't clog anymore. I found some interesting clog free gutter systems, one of which offers a completely different approach to handling the run-off from a roof.

Here are some of the products I found:
  • Rain Handler
    This is a completely new design to handling rain water. It uses metal louvres to disperse the water away from the home and completely eliminates the need for downspouts. This is the system that I am looking to install on my home.

  • Waterloov
    This is a gutter guard system that reduces the amount of debris that enter the gutters through its unique design. Instead of a grill or slit it has small openings on the front face to only allow water to enter.

  • Big Mouth
    Works in conjunction with a gutter guard system to allow small debris to that gets in throught the guards to flow our of the gutter.
