Help Your Homeowners Prepare For Winter!

There are many reasons it is important to keep your seamless aluminum rain gutters clean. It becomes especially important for them to be clean once winter rolls around. One major reason is that the added weight of debris in the gutters beneath a heavy layer of ice can cause gutters to pull away from the house. Failure to keep your gutters clean can result in roof leaks, rotten fascia board, and damage to your foundation - all of which are major, yet preventable problems.
  • Alloy Gutter can clean your customers' gutters before winter hits. This will help to eliminate the issue of gutters pulling away from their homes due to the added weight of wet, gunky leaves.
  • Alloy Gutter can install leaf protection systems on your customers' homes to eliminate this problem in the future.

Protect Your Home From Pesky Leaves This Fall

6433322Why Do Homeowners Need Leaf Protection? When your gutters are clogged, water is no longer being directed away from your home. One of the biggest concerns resulting from clogged gutters is that water will pool at the foundation of your home. Over time, this can weaken your foundation, causing cracks that will widen in the winter months when water freezes and expands. Other concerns include: water leaking through the roof, water causing exposed fascia board to rot, and water getting behind siding, causing separation and water damage. So although many people may not give thought to the condition of their gutters, neglect and disrepair of gutter systems can lead to very dangerous problems and costly repairs. Alloy Gutter Company proudly carries three types of leaf protection to prevent all of the above listed problems, as well as many others! We are also able to install other types of leaf protection upon request - we have simply decided to  carry these products because we find them to be the most cost effective as well as efficient in their protection from leaves and debris.

Going Green – Rain Barrels In 2012?

Even if you do not give much thought to the big green machine, rain barrels can help you go green in more places than your environmental footprint, namely your wallet! Reasons to Consider Rain Barrels:
  • Rain water is naturally soft, so it is better for washing your car and watering indoor plants than tap water.
  • Save money! Use the water you've collected to water outdoor plants – reducing your water and sewage bill!
  • Saving your rain water is a good backup source of water for times of drought or in between rain showers.
  • Rain Barrels can help improve the aesthetics of your house, as they can be beautiful and add lots of character to your home and landscaping.
Would you really save money?? YES! According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, 40% of water consumption is used for garden and lawn irrigation. 538485173
