In a really heavy rain, won’t water shoot off the side of the house?
A. No! Properly installed, The WaterFall® Gutter Guard System will handle any amount of rain that falls. WaterFall has been tested in conditions simulating over 10-in. of rain per hour (more than has ever been recorded anywhere) and successfully handled every drop. Simply, rain water clings to, and follows the surface of the WaterFall “steps” into the WaterFall channels, and then through the drain holes into the gutter. At the same time, leaves and debris slide over the “steps” and on to the ground. To check this first hand, next time it rains, watch how the rain falls from your roof into the gutters. Even in the heaviest rain, the water just drips off the end of the shingles. Seeing this will help understand how WaterFall handles heavy rain.
