If you're not

a do-it-yourself kind of homeowner and the thought of tall ladders makes

you queasy, the modern gutter system, known as the Rainhandler, turns

do-it-yourself into done-for-you. Rainhandler's unique louver design converts

a stream of rainwater into a two-to four-foot wide swath of droplets that

are absorbed by shrubs and lawn beyond the eaves. Rainhandler provides

a maintenance-free gutter system for homeowners and creates other benefits.

According to

the company's VP Operations, Bob Zuklie, the single biggest problem of

homes with no gutters or clogged gutters is ground erosion. Ground erosion

can undermine a home's foundation and cause structural damage, undermine

walks and driveways and create safety hazards.

Not only does

the dispersion of water prevent ground erosion, it allows the transformation

of what might otherwise be a torrential downpour of rain streaming from

old gutters into a gentle distribution of water droplets, protecting shrubbery

and flowers below.

The design

of the product's aluminum louvers also permits leaves and debris to simply

blow away, since there is no gutter-like container. These louvers also

prevent potentially damaging ice build-up from forming in gutters and

eventually leaking into your home.

"I used

to have a problem in the winter with my conventional gutters with ice

build up over my bow window and then the water backing up and running

into the living room," explained a Warwick, Rhode Island resident.

"The problem has been solved since I installed the system."

Whether you

decide to hang on to your traditional gutters, or replace them with the

Rainhandler modern gutter, the required care for conventional gutters

is something homeowners should think about before a problem exists. Regular

maintenance and preventative measures can protect you home from possible

disasters that can end up costing you hundreds of dollars in the future.

Gutter maintenance

demonstrates that protecting areas of your home doesn't necessarily begin

from the ground up.
