Cleaning gutters is a messy and often times dangerous job. We want to help.

We do not know anybody who likes cleaning rain gutters on their property. It’s time consuming and often, frankly, completely nasty, especially if you do not keep up with it on a somewhat regular basis. If you are like many homeowners and think “I’ll take care of that next weekend”, you could end up with massive clogs in your gutters and downspouts…clogs which will cost hundreds of dollars to repair because you have to call a gutter professional to come out, take down your downspouts, clean them out and put them all back together. Instead of spending all of that time and money, why not just install a gutter brush?

The original gutterbrush simple gutter guard will save you time and you won’t have to worry about costly clogs in your downspouts. The product looks like a giant pipe cleaning brush and it sits in your rain gutter channel and acts as a barrier for leaves, twigs, seedpods and other debris while still letting water pass through freely and out the downspout.

Installation is simple and fast. The most difficult part is climbing the ladder up to your roof to set the original gutterbrush down inside of it. But that’s it…you’re done! More importantly they are easy to clean if you ever need to do so. All you have to do is climb back up that pesky ladder; pull the brushes out, remove the debris and put them right back into place.

Why spend a bunch of money if you don’t have to? Why spend a bunch of time cleaning something if you don’t have to? The original GutterBrush is very affordable and you can install it yourself in about an hour and a half and it lasts all year (studies have proven they can also keep your gutters from freezing in the winter). Sounds like a win-win situation to me.

Don’t be fooled by imitations that are manufactured outside of the USA using sub standard materials. Insist on the original GutterBrush SImple Gutter Guard!

Sean — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:15:16 +0000

All of us here at GutterBrush are always on the lookout for simple, effective and affordable ways to help people protect their property. Here is a common scam that police are always warning homeowners about this time of year. The scam artists in this ruse target homeowners by pretending to be out-of-work handymen. they approach homeowners and offer to do work around their property, usually cleaning gutters or paving driveways. The suspects claim they are out-of-work because of the bad economy, but say they still have their equipment and can offer the homeowner a good deal. The scam artists then tell the victim they need cash up front to purchase supplies. After pretending to start the work, the suspects then take off with the money. Always beware of paying for any home improvement job up front. Also, ask for insurance certification from the contractor as well as contact information you can verify. We hope this helps you avoid becoming a victim of this common scam.

If only everything were as simple as our complete gutter protection.

The global economy is struggling but our small international gutter protection company is trying to do our part to help minimize the impact on property and business owners by not increasing our pricing or shipping charges within the continental United States for 2010. The bottom line is that gutters are extremely important for the protection of your home. Every year the malfunctioning and overflowing of gutters does cause substantial property damage to residential and commercial property across the world.

GutterBrush is an effective, low-cost gutter protection and rainwater control system made in the USA from 100% sustainable materials. GutterBrush is constructed of exceptionally durable professional grade materials. This sustainable product helps reduce the amount of non-degradable plastics from landfills through its very long lifespan. The product will not deteriorate and therefore will not need to be disposed of in a landfill and then replaced.

GutterBrush simple gutter guard does an incredible job of protecting property from water damage caused by clogged gutters. GutterBrush’s simple gutter guard system helps keep gutters flowing freely and virtually eliminates the structural water damage caused by overflows, standing water, freezing water, and snow buildup while also helping to reduce the risk of combustion of dry, brittle, and very flammable gutter debris and is in compliance with fire prevention building codes. Getting rid of these potential causes of damage increases the longevity of the property and significantly diminishes the environmental shock of repairs and replacements.

GutterBrush also greatly minimizes the maintenance needed to keep gutters clean and free flowing while also promoting a cleaner and more efficient rain water harvesting system.

GutterBrush can help stop this problem and help improve the environment at the same time.

GutterBrush simple gutter guard is holding the line on prices and shipping charges within the continental United States for 2010 in an attempt to assist you in protecting your property from costly damage and repairs that result from clogged gutters.

GutterBrush: Worth its weight in gold?

Probably not. But there is no mistake about what’s in this gold plated vending machine. Abu Dhabi’s Emirates Palace Hotel became the first place outside Germany to install “gold to go, the world’s first gold vending machine”. Those in the Gulf region who can clearly afford it can now grab “gold to go”, much like a latte or donuts, from a hotel lobby in the United Arab Emirates. Now when the gold fix strikes all you need to do is find one of these machines and presto, gold! Only one day after its inauguration, the shiny machine attracted many spectators of many different nationalities who had gathered to watch whenever an enthusiast was struck with the urge to splurge on a bar of the precious metal. The gold rates are constantly updated inside the shiny machine — itself gold-plated — in the hotel’s lobby, courtesy of a built-in computer connected to a dealer which sells gold online.

How far we have come from the days of the California gold rush!

Water from the sky to be collected to use on the land. Genius.

All of this rain gives you an opportunity to give your garden a nice hearty drink without chipping away at your efforts to conserve water and save money. Maybe it is time you consider a rain barrel and begin collecting the runoff from your gutters that would otherwise go to waste and even hurt your landscaping and cause leaking around foundations?

Although any old 55-gallon drum or keg will do, there’s no reason to litter your yard with these unsightly relics. Instead, give your local water department a call because many towns and municipalities now offer water barrels free of charge to local residents in an effort to increase sustainability and decrease public water supply usage. Those that don’t often hold workshops on other ways to conserve water, or offer incentives to citizens willing to secure barrels on their own.

If you are into DIY projects you can even make your own rain collection system for very short money. Just be sure you correctly position them underneath your gutters’ downspouts to maximize the collection of runoff during the next rainfall. But remember, even if you filter it first, the water you collect is better suited for drenching thirsty garden than satisfying a thirsty throat.

If you’d rather just buy a rain barrel, there are some really neat ones available online at www.aquabarrel.com

Good luck!

Collecting water from the sky to be used on the ground.

Moisture is the enemy! We must contain the enemy to the outside!

We have seen a significant increase in finished basements being used as living rooms and bedrooms especially as families become more extended due in part to the current financial situation. Therefore, using this usually reserved storage space for living areas can result in problems that can be both annoying and uncomfortable humidity, but can also cause significant health problems for those who live and spend time in them. Mildew and mold can easily occur and flourish in damp areas as well as in carpets and upholstery. Completing a basement before taking the actual water issues, if any, present can easily lead to the creation of health problems and/or substantial damage to the building itself. Well then, where does the water come from?

If the area near the foundation is not level or slopes toward the house, it is most likely that the water will be directed towards the foundation and into the basement. Often the earthen floor next to the house’s foundation is filled without proper compaction and/or drainage plans. To correct this one needs to grade the earth around the house away from the foundation wall, not less than one inch per foot for at least six feet.

Gutters and downspouts are also very important to keeping water out of the basement living space. These systems keep the water from running down the side of the house and pooling around the foundation followed by seeping into the basement. It is important to keep the downspouts emptying far enough away from the home so that this water penetration is less likely to occur. There are other components to keeping the basement dry but they fall outside of the scope of this author’s technical and practical skillset. However, you can find this information quite easily on the world wide web. Stay dry this spring and keep your property protected as well!
