Gutter Guards and Gutter Covers "Collecting Valley Water"

This is the fifth post regarding overshooting. In the last post I discussed a patented device used by the Waterloov Gutter Guard System for collecting water in short valleys.

For longer valleys the Valley FallTM Panel is installed catty-cornered in the valley. It's stacked on top of the regular panels that are installed in the valley. Water flows down the valley and onto the valley fall panel where it is spread out across the front collectors of the Waterloov® panel. The water drops down into the gutter and any residual water is collected by the gutter protectors installed on the gutter.

The openings of the Valley FallTM panel are likewise in the vertical surface and can then easily be cleaned from the ground by the homeowner with a telescopic pole and brush assembly.

In the next post we'll discuss overshooting from gutter leaders discharging on an upper roof.
