“This fall and football season, Gutter Helmet is doing more than just providing quality gutter leaf guard products for your homes. We’re also having fun. That is why we have launched the 2013 Gutter Bowl—a contest that gives you the chance to win $100 VISA gift cards and the grand prize of a $500 Best Buy gift card.

To join the contest, you only need to visit our Facebook page (), hit the “Like” button, and upload photos you took during a live game that fit any of three categories: “football action photos,” “photos of the best football fans,” and “anything related to football.” Facebook users will vote for the best photos, which will then be put through three playoff categories. Winners of these rounds will advance to the Gutter Bowl, where they will all get a shot at the grand prize. By the end of November, we will have crowned a champion.”

How the Gutters Over Your Home Keep Your Garden Safe

Rainwater needs a clear path to the ground the moment it hits your roof. A gutter system made up of the gutter, downspout, and gutter cover can provide one, helping keep your roof dry and the landscape a sight for sore eyes. Without a clear path, the rainwater will simply spill off the edge of the roof and drench everything below, including your prized petunias. Water may be good for plants, but too much of it is a different matter.

The soil can only hold so much water before it starts to erode and displace your beloved flowers and shrubs. Imagine what a steady stream of storm runoff can do if it’s directly in the path of the garden. This is why the downspout must be aimed at a channel or dedicated pathway; it can be a canal along the yard or an extended downspout that runs underground. Coordinate with your local contractor on how you want your gutter system to be.

Overall, the elements of a gutter system are essential to one another. The absence of just one can give way to potential disasters and costly repairs (repairing clogged gutters alone may cost between $3,000 and $100,000). A sound gutter system can protect the things that matter to you the most from even the strongest of storms.
