Winter Gutter Protection from Gutter Helmet of Indiana

Clogged gutters can become a major problem in winter because as cold weather approaches, many homeowners have neglected to properly clean leaves out of gutters in preparation for winter rain and snow. If gutters aren’t clear and free flowing, heavy rains and melting snow can build up in gutters and overflow onto fascia and down siding causing water damage to the interior and exterior of homes. Clogged gutters can lead to water damage to roofs, fascia and siding, not to mention mold and mildew from prolonged moisture.

Gutter Helmet of Indiana installs the one and only, multi-patented Gutter Helmet solid gutter system. Gutter Helmet guarantees that your rain gutters are protected for life by keeping leaves out so you never have to clean your gutters again. Gutter Helmet’s  gutter protection system installs over your existing rain gutter system to prevent clogged, overflowing gutters.

If your having problems this winter with ice dams or overflowing gutters, call the gutter protection experts at Gutter Helmet of Indiana today for a free no obligation estimate 1-800-217-6355.

Gutter Helmet of Indiana’s Gutter Cleaning Tips

Take it from the gutter experts at Gutter Helmet of Indiana, fall is upon us and now’s the time to inspect your gutter system for leaves, tree debris, clogged downspouts, leaks or other gutter problems that can cause costly damage to your home. Damaged gutter systems can fail and tear off during heavy snows. Be sure to thouroughly clean and inspect your entire gutter system before winter arrives.

Here are a few general gutter cleaning and maintenance tips from our team of experts:

- A good rule of thumb is that gutters need to be cleaned in the spring and fall. If your house is located in a heavily wooded area, you may need to clean your gutters more frequently.
- You will need a ladder, a bucket, rubber gloves, a spade or other small shovel, large spoon or other device to scoop debris from gutters and a hose to do the job
- After you remove all the debris by hand, rinse out the gutters with a hose and check for leaks
- Also be sure to check to make sure your gutters are pitched correctly so that water flows completely out of gutters and there is no standing water
- Repair any leaks at seems by patching with outdoor waterproof caulk
-Always do this with a second person who can hold the ladder and empty the bucket. That way you reduce the risk of falling.

5 reasons to get a solar power attic fan

October 7th, 2011 by | Posted in Indiana, Lake County, Porter County, Solar Power Attic Fan, Trim A Seal | No Comments »
Tagged as: , , , , , ,

SunRise-Flat-Base-Solar-Attic-FanA solar powered attic fan is an attic fan that is installed on the exterior of the roof that runs entirely on the power of the sun. Unlike a traditional attic fan, the solar power attic fan is completely self sufficient, and even automatically monitors itself.

1.       Completely self-sufficient

The solar powered attic fan solely relies on the power of the sun. During the say, the fan gathers energy and stores it to be used through the night.

2.       It is self-operating

Because the solar powered fan has a built in thermometer, the fan will automatically turn off when the temperature drops to a certain level, and turn back on when it rises to a certain level.

3.       Saves money on energy bill!

While the solar attic fan has an initial investment, there is a very large return.  As well as keeping your house cooler, the solar attic fan can save up to 30% on your energy bills. With the help of the solar powered attic fan, your central heat and air will function more efficiently.

4.       Easy Installation

The fan goes directly into the exterior of the roof, with an installation that takes 1 day.

5.       It’s Green!

The green movement is the wave of the future. More and more we see society striving to find ways of alternative energy. This, along with other various small home improvements, is the first step in the green movement on a small scale.

Contact Trim A Seal of Indiana today for more information about installing a solar attic fan and watch your heating bills drop this winter! www.TrimASeal.com. Trim a Seal has been serving the Northern Indiana area with quality home improvement services since 1950.
