I've had Gutter Helmet on my gutters for about 9 years; grime and sludge has accumulated to the degree that my downspouts don't drain anymore --- and the icicles (!): monstrous 3 ft giants every winter. I just had the Gutter Helmets removed and will have my gutters cleaned every year now for about $175 -- and much more piece of mind.

The best advice i can give is: do not have this stuff installed on your roof!!! I know there are other companies of this type and, when talking to my friends who have (or had) them on their roofs, none of them are happy.

The title of this post says it all...GH is the worst thing you can do to your gutters; avoid them like the plague!!!

I was thinking of getting these, but if I have to get on the roof every so often to clear the roof, then why wouldn't I just get yup there and clear the gutters? :upset

The post by 'Nikki' above says that you have to clean the top of the Gutter Helmut to maintain the surface tension. If I have to get up on a ladder to clean the top, I might as well save the money and just clean out the leaves.

I have loads of gutters and have used a lot of difnreeft covers the screen wire doesn't work, collapses. Best I actually found was at Walmart of all places, and cheap too I think about $ 7 or so for 12 ft.

Fits under the roofing and clips on the guttering.

I would doubt your leaks are from the gutters though, most gutters hang on the edge of the roof, so even if stopped up the water generally runs down the outside, not inside the house. Need to get on the roof and check for leaks above where your leaks are in the house- or go in the attic and look for signs of leaks on the underside of the roof.

I have Gutter Helmet and they're GREAT! I found out that the biggest reason people are dissatisfied is because they DON'T CALL FOR SERVICE.

When you buy Gutter Helmet you get a lifetime warranty against clogs and defects. If your gutters clog, Gutter Helmet sends a technician to your home to clear it FOR FREE for LIFE. All you had to do was pick up the phone.

Now you have to shell out $175 every year. Not very smart.

I am having a problem with my Gutter Helmet. There is a birds nest in the gutter.

No water drains down the downspout. Technician won't come to inspect unless I agree to pay a $90 inspection fee. Then they will determine if the problem was caused by an "act of God" (snow, ice, etc). If it was, I will have to pay to have the gutter cleaned and the Gutter Helmet repaired.

(of course you know it will be "an act of God" because they don't want to incur the cost.) And I paid a fortune to Gutter Helmet installed.

I am very unhappy with Gutter Helmet service and their honoring the warranty.

I am considering getting these, and our salesman explained to us the need to clean the tops of them as part of a maintenance plan to keep the surface tension from diminishing. Did you do that? I'm just wondering how many of this pages complaints are actually product failures.
