Great Job, I have been installing drainage systems for thirty years. I would like to know more about the filtration portion of the system. Are you able to clean it out?

If Tim walz endorses it probably not a good product

Do they clog easily with smaller debris?

Can those chambers handle weight? For example driving over them or tractor when burried. I assume they can

This guy looks like notch

how many gallons of water can this setup in video hold?

Who came up with this major scam on home owners? The natural ground has been absorbing water naturally for millions of years!!!! What a major waste of time and money!!!!!

We need to see this working in action these wells are known to fail in big 🌧️ falls not rare extremely common up our way 🤦🏽‍♂️😂if a drainage company mentions a dry well u will get kicked out the property because they fail more then they do good 🔬n then the home owner is stuck with a huge mud pit after bid storms that’s what I’ve seen unfortunately 🤷🏽‍♂️

Supposed to work by "surface tension"

Have you ever had problems with MicroGuard freezing in cold temperatures and not allowing water in?

Blah Blah Blah. So Why They May Not Solve Your Ice Dam Problem???

thanks for debunking these scams

That design will fill up with leaves and twigs fast and require frequent cleaning.

Wow, great video. We are working with similar rules here in New Jersey. Very informative. Thank you, Tom

Everyone should get a poodle because they listen to you not like the gutter guys. Got it.

WE TORE OFF 9 LAYERS ON ONE OF MY JOBS THOMPSON ROOFING.

Thank you sir .

The gutters a just fine...simply replace the nail with a screw dummy.

I recently had Englert Microguard guards installed as part of a new roof/gutter project. I like the design of the guards. I think it's all in the installation. First, my contractor (not Connecticut Gutter from video above) placed the back of the guard over the back of the gutter, and screwed the guard in from the back. Not what the Englert installation instructions say, but I'm sure they do this to assemble on the ground for the sake of efficiency. Going to be a problem if we ever have to replace a guard. (When contacted, Englert mentioned they were considering oking this approach.) Second, my contractor did not overlap the panels, just butted them together. I don't think he is alone in doing this, but again, seems to be contrary to installation instructions on Englert's website, which calls for overlapping. This practice resulted in many "gaps" (vertically) at panel joints. The "fix" for this was to bend metal to make them align as best as possible. Englert inexplicably said that I had an older generation of guard, and this is the way they are supposed to be installed. Still trying to make sense of this (as the pictures in their instructions look just like what I now have on my house). Finally, of lesser concern, the guards are supposed to be folded in at the end caps, and mine are not. In general, the contractor felt that some of the Englert instructions for installation were impractical/unworkable. As I said, I like the guard design. Just make sure you have an agreement with your contractor regarding how they are going to be installed.

I agree with this man. I think everyone prefer to have the old roofing removed. However, some folks are on a budget. I once had a roof put on over the old roof and I know several other people who also did the same (no problem) most people don't pay for lifetime roofing. The Advise given to me by a Roofer is "it depend on the condition of the old roof. If your old roof is in bad condition...DO NOT put a new roof over it and NEVER put on a third layer.

Another question is if I have an elastomer which is a continual roll of 3 foot roof shingle across roof width Do I have to worry about leaking ?

How about insulate your attic?????

Thanks.

Let’s say you have good insulation but your roof faces sun and you have fluctuating temperatures that melt snow on your roof and form an ice dam, how do you approach this situation?

Install a heat-cable,...you are welcome.

"Unsightly icicle" 🤣😂😅😆

I know this house I used to do landscaping here lol

Ok this is the ad is amazing - never heard someone rep the gutter game before.

Just listened to your video "The Problem with Hooded Gutter Covers" - very interesting and informative. This videp was viewed by 23,083 times since Dec. 13, 2012. It is very professionally done but I can't comprehend that you have not corrected a "typo" in the part which staes what could block that type of hooded gutter. What is "derbis" or I assume you mean "debris". Just bringing to your attention. And thank you for the information. Peter R.

Awesome video! Thanks for the informative session

So many butt hurt leaf guard / gutter helmet salesman on here.

Inaccurate information, as it only applies to certain hooded gutter covers. His claims are not true of Gutter Helmet, and he knows it! Gutter Helmet does work, successfully handling 22" of rain per hour (twice the National Weather Service record for U.S. rainfall) and it does not void the roof warranty. The major roofing manufacturers have tested and approved Gutter Helmet's installation process, and will provide customers with a letter, stating that their roof warranty will not be voided. Frank has an agenda.

kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIvQYnaYrpmBr5o <<<---- I'm SO CONFUSED !!!

My personnal opinion id that if you don,t take off the old shingles you might end up installing new shingles on a roof that needs to be renovated in places .

Don't purchase Leaffilter gutter protection Period

This does not keep you from having to clean your roof off from snow. Only logic I guess we'll tell the man if the snow will have time to melt off before it gets cold enough to freeze again.

So when you move into a house you should plan on dying within 20 yrs?

ALL of the guards (any style) *reduce* the gutter cleaning chore intervals. None will ever eliminate the cleaning chore 100%.

Excellent. You hit precisely on issues I'm experiencing with my own gutter guards. They're dirty from tree sap and pollen, so the molecular adhesion concept no longer works well. They're useless in moderate-to-heavy-rains. And birds took up residence beneath them, which blocked a portion of our gutters and caused water to consistently spill over the top of the gutter ... which in turn destroyed our bluestone steps. Looking forward to having these removed.

Construction Broker is the same as Construction Manager (CM) in a construction management business?

He is profit oriented!!

It amazes me how this video got 7 thumbs down out of 23. This video tells you the absolute truth about what to consider before gutter heating elements. PROPER insulation and air sealing is always step 1. There are a couple other videos I saw here on youtube that touches on ice dam and what i consider legit info...one is from This Old House and the other is from Enduring Charm. But yeah..heating elements is a remedy not a cure imo

This home had multiple leak issues stemming from hail damage to the barrel-style metal roof. The roof was replaced with an upgraded Stone-Coated Steel DECRA® Villa Tile - a product known for its durability and need for little to no maintenance.

I had aluminum gutter guards removed because they caused icycles to form on my gutters. No leaves, but cycles, not good. I was told it was the pitch of the roof that caused this. Any thoughts?

meh

so if you have no gutters...then no ice dam ?

You just want to make more money that's it. I do repairs and you can go in the attic and see if the wood is bad. No contactor just wants to do a second layer because he won't break the bank with all new drip edge, ice guard, underlayment, new soil pipe boots, flashing, roof vents, ect. If people really took out the time they save thousand of dollars knowing what they need to do the job and how much labor is they would figure out how much the contactor is robbing them for. Labor for walker roofs is 90-100sq to to take off put on everything. Jacker roofs 115-130sq off and on everything. Contactor 300plus SQ he makes more then the man doing that job sitting in his office.

That design where the mesh is, look like it will accumulate a lot of debris.
